With Hades 2 entering early access on May 6, 2024, it’s impressive to see it already verified for the Valve handheld. The rogue-like has beaten out multiple mainstays, including Stardew Valley and Balatro, to earn the top spot.
Not only has Hades 2 cemented itself as the most-played Steam Deck game for May, but its predecessor, Hades, has also risen through the ranks. We’ve gathered the full list below:
- Hades 2
- Fallout 4
- Stardew Valley
- Hades
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Balatro
- Elden Ring
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Diablo IV
- Helldivers 2
- Fallout 76
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Vampire Survivors
- Grand Theft Auto V
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
- Animal Well
- Slay the Spire
- Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut
- Monster Hunter: World
Previously wedged between Vampire Survivors and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last month, the first Hades game has gone from 18th to fourth place in the list. It’s likely the result of fans filling up on the first installment so they’re best prepared to dive into Hades 2.

While Hades has risen up the ranks, it’s not new to the list by any means. Steam Deck owners have been fighting their way through the first Hades as early as August 2022, just months after the launch of the handheld.
Whether Hades 2 will follow suit and remain one of the most-played Steam Deck games remains to be seen.
