The new Steam Deck Top Played list isn’t only based on the number of players in the game but also a combination of “unique users and interest,” according to Valve.
Today, Valve released a new Steam Charts page highlighting the top played games on the Steam Deck. The list will be updated on a daily basis, revealing what titles are most popular on the handheld. The list functions as a new discovery method for people to know what to play on their Valve handheld. As the company has pointed out, a Steam game that runs great on a desktop PC might not offer the same experience on the Steam Deck.
However, according to Valve’s Lawrence Yang, the listing isn’t strictly based on the number of players in each game. > “The metric we’re using to determine top-played is a combination of unique users and interest. Hades 2 has only been out for a month, but so many Steam Deck players have it as one of their top played games for the entire year, that it was lifted in the rankings.” The Verge has reached out to Valve to clarify how interest in a game is being determined.
