With July being officially over and done, we can now take a look to see what the most popular Steam Deck games of July 2025 are! Looking at the top 20 most played games, we have four new titles, with PEAK going all the way up to the top 5 slot, which it most definitely deserves:

Top 20 Most Played Games on Steam Deck in July 2025
July 3rd - August 1st

Compared to last month's list, we have a couple of changes:

New Games Added:

  • PEAK
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Death Stranding Director's Cut
  • Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

Games That Left:

  • Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
  • Elden Ring Nightreign
  • Stellar Blade
  • Deltarune

As I said above, it's awesome seeing PEAK get all the way up there. I was shocked to see Death Stranding return to the list, though I have heard performance may be a little better now, and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor deserves its spot back. I was also surprised to see Stellar Blade and Elden Ring Nightreign leave the list, with the former being surprisingly playable and the latter being Elden Ring. Still, it's a great list of games, and you can't go wrong playing any of them.
