Humble Bundle is well known for introducing new game bundles every month to help gamers grab a bunch of titles for a small price. While they have the Humble Choice service, they also release individual bundles. Their latest one is called Gold Medal Games, celebrating the ongoing Olympics, and it features sports games that run well on the Steam Deck.
It is important to note that a Verified game runs well on the Steam Deck without any tweaks or adjustments. On the other hand, a Playable game runs fine, but you may need to tweak the settings to optimize its performance. All games in this bundle fall into one of those categories – nothing unsupported here.
What does the Gold Medal Games bundle offer?
The Gold Medal Games bundle offers seven popular sports games. Whether you are a basketball fan or love skateboarding, the bundle has something for everyone. While the total value of all seven games is around $315, you can grab them for just $30 through the bundle. There’s also a coupon that saves 20% on the Year 1 Pack for Session: Skate Sim.

Any good games?
We’d like to give a special mention to Skater XL, which is a treat for skateboarders (or any fans of it). Compared to other skateboarding games out there, Skater XL is much more focused on realism and player control. It gives players the freedom to perform whichever trick comes to their mind. You also get the luxury of exploring spots like Downton LA and Easy Day High School. On top of that, you get complete control over customizing your character and board. There are also hundreds of challenges for you to complete, increasing in difficulty as you progress through them.
Another highlight has to be NBA 2K24, and the bundle offers a special version of the game dedicated to legendary basketball player, Kobe Bryant. The game offers a realistic basketball experience where you can participate in matches, perform unique moves, unlock characters and teams, and much more.
Compared to the previous games of the series, NBA 2K24 offers improved graphics, better gameplay, more features, new modes, and deeper character customization. The Kobe Bryant Edition also offers Kobe-themed content, exclusive rewards, and Mamba Moments through which you can play and recreate some special moments from Kobe Bryant’s career.
