With this year being so game-heavy, we decided to take a moment to ask the community what Steam Deck games they would recommend to a new user! This was asked on Twitter (X), and I got some great answers. We do have some obvious games here, but there are a few we have never heard of before. If you are looking for some great new games for your Steam Deck, check these out:
We plan to do this community ask monthly, so follow us on Twitter (X) to be included in the next month!
