Well it is that time of the month again! We asked people on Twitter which games they had been playing the most on their Steam Decks and you guys definitely responded! With the Steam Deck getting more and more popular, there are more games being tested and more favorites being born. So without further adew, here are the community recommended games we gathered at the beginning of this month! (Yes, we asked a little after August ended and we finally got around to making this article a little late, apologies!)

The Future of Steam Deck

Recommended by @TheJokester_MrJ

Speculating about the next iterations of the hardware when asked about current games people are playing the most is the classiest thing one can do. And only TheJokester knows the secrets.

So many games and so little time! I got to say, there are some amazing ones here that I think everyone should check out like Sunset Overdrive, Trails in the Sky, and Neon White! Thank you everyone for submitting a game, we will see you next month!
