The Steam Summer Sale kicked off yesterday, and it has slashed the prices of hundreds of games. We’re seeing discounts as big as 95% off. The best part is that there are plenty of Steam Deck-friendly games that are available for under $10, and if you’re on an even tighter budget, you’ll find deals under $5 too. What makes things even better is that all the top 10 most-played games from the past year are included in the sale, providing a great opportunity to try out the top titles.

Grab the top 10 most-played Steam Deck games at discounted prices

If you head over to the Steam Deck Top Played charts and select ‘past year,’ you’ll see a list of the top 100 games from June 28, 2024, to June 27, 2025 (at the time of writing). The interesting part is that all of these games are included in the Steam Summer Sale, meaning you can grab them at discounted prices.

Here’s a list of the top 10 most-played games on the Steam Deck. We’ve included their original prices alongside the sale prices, so you can see exactly how much you’ll save.

Aside from Red Dead Redemption 2, all of the games are verified on the Steam Deck, meaning they run smoothly out of the box. For RDR2, you may have to make a few tweaks and adjustments. According to the compatibility rating notes, UI elements such as text may be difficult to read due to its size.

Keep in mind that the Steam Summer Sale runs until July 10, and these discounts will disappear after that. So be sure to grab anything you want before the sale ends. All of the games listed above offer exciting adventures, and some include over 100 hours of content. For example, Red Dead Redemption 2’s main story can take around 50 hours to finish, but reaching 100% completion can take over 180 hours.
