00:00:00.434 --> 00:00:01.499
(logo swooshes)

2
00:00:01.499 --> 00:00:03.305
- [Eric] The Steam Deck is a powerful,

3
00:00:03.305 --> 00:00:05.970
portable gaming PC that gives you access

4
00:00:05.970 --> 00:00:09.209
to an enormous library
of thousands of PC games.

5
00:00:09.209 --> 00:00:12.518
Every month, Valve releases a
list of the games most played

6
00:00:12.518 --> 00:00:14.086
by Steam Deck users,

7
00:00:14.086 --> 00:00:16.500
ordered by hours played.

8
00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.800
Here now in ascending order
are the top 10 Steam Deck games

9
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.259
played in February 2023.

10
00:00:22.259 --> 00:00:24.093
(upbeat music)

11
00:00:24.093 --> 00:00:28.850
Coming in at number 10, a
newcomer to the list, "Brotato".

12
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:35.790
Number nine is Hades.

13
00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:37.016
- [Game] Gah-dong.

14
00:00:37.016 --> 00:00:38.553
Did you miss me, Zagreus?

15
00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:40.777
- [Narrator] Number eight,

16
00:00:40.777 --> 00:00:45.099
"The Elder Scrolls V:
Skyrim Special Edition."

17
00:00:45.099 --> 00:00:47.457
Number seven is "Grand Theft Auto V."

18
00:00:49.757 --> 00:00:53.427
Number six, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt."

19
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.804
A Witcher doesn't always have
the easiest time blending in,

20
00:00:56.804 --> 00:00:59.571
as they tend to attract
notice wherever they go.

21
00:00:59.571 --> 00:01:01.980
Another thing that attracted attention

22
00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:04.863
was our own tireless
reporting on certain, uh,

23
00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:09.182
modifications to some women in the game's

24
00:01:09.182 --> 00:01:11.193
recent next-gen update.

25
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:14.943
Let no one say we don't ask
the tough questions here

26
00:01:14.943 --> 00:01:16.830
at kotaku.com.

27
00:01:16.830 --> 00:01:17.730
Moving on.

28
00:01:17.730 --> 00:01:21.256
Number five is "Red Dead Redemption 2."

29
00:01:21.256 --> 00:01:23.010
(upbeat music)

30
00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:25.110
Holding firm from last
month at number four

31
00:01:25.110 --> 00:01:27.570
is "Stardew Valley."

32
00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:30.813
Can we talk about Gunther's
ungrateful ass for a second?

33
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.740
Is this exhibit not
enough for you, Gunther?

34
00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:36.216
Find some artifacts yourself, man,

35
00:01:36.216 --> 00:01:40.200
your library is only
interesting because of me.

36
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.790
Number three on the most played
list, "Vampire Survivors,"

37
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:46.368
which continues its month-over-month slide

38
00:01:46.368 --> 00:01:48.348
down the rankings.

39
00:01:48.348 --> 00:01:50.996
Can our five time champ reclaim its mojo

40
00:01:50.996 --> 00:01:52.563
in the next go round?

41
00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:54.723
Only time will tell.

42
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.760
As for February's runner up at
number two, rise, tarnished?

43
00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:07.173
It turns out "Elden Ring's"
reign lasted only a month.

44
00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:11.250
It stands to reason From
Software's sterling action RPG

45
00:02:11.250 --> 00:02:14.460
would've gotten a late in
the month playtime boost

46
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:16.507
after the recent announcement
of new expansion,

47
00:02:16.507 --> 00:02:20.359
"Shadow of the Erdtree, but.

48
00:02:20.359 --> 00:02:22.560
- [Dung Eater] Apparently not.

49
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.390
- [Narrator] It's turmoil
at the top, people,

50
00:02:24.390 --> 00:02:27.834
because once again we
have a new number one.

51
00:02:27.834 --> 00:02:31.348
Class is in session.

52
00:02:31.348 --> 00:02:36.348
"Hogwarts Legacy" is the most
played game on Steam Deck.

53
00:02:36.381 --> 00:02:38.520
Let's break this down logically, folks,

54
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.923
as these are simply the
numbers talking here.

55
00:02:41.789 --> 00:02:45.900
Legacy is a next-gen,
open-world Harry Potter title

56
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:48.090
in the first major multi-platform release

57
00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:53.090
under that license since, oh wow, 2011.

58
00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.430
Gosh, how surprising something like that

59
00:02:56.430 --> 00:02:58.413
would be super duper popular.

60
00:03:00.030 --> 00:03:00.863
Well, there you have it.

61
00:03:00.863 --> 00:03:05.335
The top 10 games on Steam
Deck for February, 2023.

62
00:03:05.335 --> 00:03:07.456
