#20 Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival
Saber Interactive’s first-person action horror game kicks things off. You use the powers of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box to survive your bargain with the infamous Pinhead. It’s Playable on Steam Deck and Steam Machine, with Valve noting that some controller icons don’t match the Deck. I’ve already had a look at Hellraiser: Revival on Steam Deck if you want to know more.
#19 ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN
FromSoftware’s standalone co-op take on Elden Ring is Playable on the Deck and Verified on the Steam Machine. On Valve’s handheld, some text is small and the default settings aren’t fully performant, so expect to do some tweaking. On the Steam Machine it’s fully Verified.
#18 Path of Exile 2
Grinding Gear Games’ action RPG, with co-op for up to six players, is now fully Verified on both the Deck and the Steam Machine. It passed every one of Valve’s checks, from controls and icons to legible text and performance with the default settings.
#17 Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom’s hunting RPG is Verified on Deck and Steam Machine. The only note is that it needs an internet connection for the first-time setup. It’s also 25% off on Steam in the UK at the time of writing.
#16 Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
Set 23 years after Castlevania: Dracula’s Curse, this new 2D action-exploration game from KONAMI, Evil Empire and Motion Twin follows Rose Belmont. It’s Playable on Steam Deck because some text is small, but it’s Verified on both the Steam Machine and the Steam Frame.
#15 STAR WARS: Galactic Racer
Fuse Games’ runs-based racer takes you to an underground racing league in the Outer Rim. It’s Verified on Deck and Steam Machine, though it needs an internet connection for its first-time setup.
#14 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Sandfall Interactive’s turn-based RPG with real-time mechanics, inspired by Belle Époque France, is Verified on Deck and Steam Machine. It’s also 20% off in the UK right now, which makes it a great time to pick it up.
#13 Aniimo
Pawprint Studio’s free-to-play creature-catching open-world RPG is Playable on Deck and Steam Machine. Valve’s notes list small text, some controls that need the touchscreen or a virtual keyboard, and an internet connection even for single-player.
#12 Forza Horizon 6
Playground Games takes Forza Horizon to Japan, with over 550 real-world cars. It’s Verified on Deck and Steam Machine, passing all of Valve’s checks, which is great news for a big open-world racer.
#11 Dressmaker
Cozy Lives’ crafting game is all about choosing fabric, cutting out pattern pieces and sewing your dream dresses. It’s Playable on Deck and Steam Machine, with small text and some icons that don’t match the Deck.
#10 MECCHA CHAMELEON
This hide-and-seek game has you paint your body to blend into the stage. It’s Playable on Deck and Steam Machine, but Valve notes small text, mismatched icons and some performance tweaking needed on the Deck. It has no Steam Frame rating.
#9 Baldur’s Gate 3
Larian’s story-rich, party-based Dungeons and Dragons RPG is Verified on both the Deck and the Steam Machine. It’s still one of the best RPGs you can play on SteamOS.
#8 Marvel Rivals
NetEase’s free-to-play team-based hero shooter is Playable on Deck and Steam Machine. Some text is small, and some menus need the touchscreen or virtual keyboard.
#7 How to Fish
Dazed Games’ 1 to 4 player physics-based fishing sim strands you on a small island after a boating accident. It’s Verified on all three: Steam Deck, Steam Machine and Steam Frame. At £6.39, it’s one of the cheapest games here.
#6 Subnautica 2
Unknown Worlds’ underwater survival sequel, with 4-player co-op, is still in Early Access but already Verified on Deck and Steam Machine.
#5 RuneScape: Dragonwilds
Jagex’s co-op survival game sends you to the continent of Ashenfall to face the Dragon Queen. It’s Playable on Deck and Steam Machine, but Valve’s list of notes is long: launcher issues, small text, mismatched icons and default settings that need some tweaking.
#4 AION 2
NC’s free-to-play MMORPG is built around battles in the sky. It’s Playable on Deck and Steam Machine, with small text, some controls that need the touchscreen and mismatched icons.
#3 ARC Raiders
Embark Studios’ multiplayer extraction game is Playable on Steam Deck, mainly because some text is small, but it’s Verified on the Steam Machine. It has no Steam Frame rating.
#2 Palworld
Pocketpair’s survival and crafting game, where you fight, farm, build and work alongside Pals, is Verified on both Steam Deck and Steam Machine, passing all of Valve’s checks.
#1 Enshrouded
Keen Games’ solo and co-op survival action RPG takes the top spot after its 1.0 launch. It’s Verified on both Steam Deck and Steam Machine, with all of Valve’s checks passed. It has no Steam Frame rating yet. I’ve also covered Enshrouded on Steam Deck, plus the best settings.
My thoughts
This is a really strong month. Big hitters like Baldur’s Gate 3, Forza Horizon 6, Monster Hunter Wilds and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are all fully Verified, and the Steam Machine gets Verified ratings for even more of them, including ARC Raiders, ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN and Castlevania. If you’re after a Steam Frame game, How to Fish and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse are the two to look at. For what Deck owners are actually playing, check out my Steam Deck most played list for October. Which of these will you be playing first?
