Valve has added a new chart to its roster of publicly-available data: a list of the <\/a>. The information can be sorted by the past week, month, or year, and will be updated daily.<\/p>\n These charts can play a big part in game discovery on the platform, so it’s worth noting that making the list isn’t only about the sheer number of players. Lawrence Yang from Valve told <\/em><\/a> more about the process. “The metric we\u2019re using to determine top-played is a combination of unique users and interest,” Yang said. “Hades 2<\/em> 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.”<\/p>\n At the chart’s launch, Elden Ring<\/em> unsurprisingly holds the top spot after the recent Shadow of the Erdtree<\/em> release (<\/a>). Indie fave Stardew Valley <\/em>is currently in second and hot deck-builder Balatro<\/em> is in third. Both Hades 2<\/em> and Hades<\/em> have made the top ten. There are some surprising entries too, such as Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX<\/em> in fifth place and Fallout 4 <\/em>in sixth. If you want to add anything on the Steam Deck chart to your library, now’s the chance to load up your to-be-played queue for cheap with the <\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
