00:00:00.523 --> 00:00:01.920
(logo whooshes)

2
00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:05.130
- [Eric] The Steam Deck is a
powerful, portable gaming PC

3
00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:07.140
that gives you access
to an enormous library

4
00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:09.570
of thousands of PC games.

5
00:00:09.570 --> 00:00:12.990
Every month, Valve releases a
list of the games most played

6
00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:16.290
by Steam Deck users,
ordered by hours played.

7
00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:19.020
Also, hey, would you believe
that with this video,

8
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:22.560
we'll have a full year
of Top 10 on Steam Decks

9
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.270
under our belts?

10
00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:26.895
Thanks to everyone who's
been tuning in and,

11
00:00:26.895 --> 00:00:30.810
(chuckles) hopefully, enjoying the series.

12
00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:32.790
I know I've had a lot of
fun making them for you all.

13
00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:34.691
All right, with that said,
here now in ascending order

14
00:00:34.691 --> 00:00:37.020
are the top 10 Steam Deck games

15
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:40.020
people played in October 2023.

16
00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:41.550
Coming in at number 10

17
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:44.959
is "The Elder Scrolls V:
Skyrim Special Edition."

18
00:00:44.959 --> 00:00:48.209
(light exciting music)

19
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:52.447
Number nine on the most played list,

20
00:00:52.447 --> 00:00:54.193
"Red Dead Redemption 2".

21
00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.817
Holding the number eight spot,

22
00:01:00.817 --> 00:01:03.717
"The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth."

23
00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:08.847
At number seven, it's
"Grand Theft Auto V."

24
00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:18.057
Number six on the most played
list is "Vampire Survivors."

25
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:22.740
October's free Whiteout
update introduced a new stage,

26
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:26.493
weapon, and character, She-Moon Eeta.

27
00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:30.150
As such, here's a quick step-by-step

28
00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:33.720
for how to unlock this
defense-focused fighter.

29
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:37.980
First, pick up a total of 20 Orologions

30
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:40.743
to unlock the new stage, Whiteout.

31
00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:44.760
If you've been playing Survivors
for a decent chunk of time,

32
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.740
chances are, you've already fulfilled

33
00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:49.650
the requirements for this,
so you can simply start

34
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:52.350
and quit out of a run to
unlock this achievement

35
00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:53.538
or you can just play it out.

36
00:01:53.538 --> 00:01:54.870
Up to you.

37
00:01:54.870 --> 00:01:59.250
Next, load into Whiteout and
nab the Glass Fandango weapon.

38
00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:03.210
If you're lazy like me,
select the Mad Groove arcana

39
00:02:03.210 --> 00:02:04.530
so it'll come right to you.

40
00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:07.350
Then, make your way towards
the south of the map,

41
00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:08.940
steering clear of these snowmen

42
00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:12.120
and other frigid freaks
who will bar your way

43
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.970
to find the antidote
relic inside this cave,

44
00:02:14.970 --> 00:02:17.040
guarded by two witchy women.

45
00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:19.770
Lastly, survive for 20 minutes in Whiteout

46
00:02:19.770 --> 00:02:23.130
to unlock She-Moon Eeta,
who starts with the Fandango

47
00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:25.863
and a freezing ability
that triggers at low life.

48
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.303
Coming at the number five spot, Starfield.

49
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:33.487
This is wild to me, because
Starfield is currently listed

50
00:02:33.487 --> 00:02:36.120
as unsupported in the Steam store,

51
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.250
meaning Valve is straight up telling us

52
00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:41.430
not to play this puppy on the Deck.

53
00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:44.460
However, the heart wants what it wants,

54
00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:47.940
and it seems like a whole lot
of you are perfectly content

55
00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:49.980
with sub-30 frame rates.

56
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:51.243
Praise the Great Serpent.

57
00:02:52.380 --> 00:02:54.603
At number four, it's Stardew Valley.

58
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.400
Another month, another
ConcernedApe tweet to react to.

59
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:04.053
I mean, exactly what the hell

60
00:03:04.053 --> 00:03:06.510
is this supposed to mean, Eric?

61
00:03:06.510 --> 00:03:09.720
In a tease for the upcoming 1.6 update,

62
00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:10.950
the developer shared an image

63
00:03:10.950 --> 00:03:13.530
of what can only be a Qi Fruit,

64
00:03:13.530 --> 00:03:15.450
which previously featured prominently

65
00:03:15.450 --> 00:03:19.680
in the Qi's Crop quest,
where they then disappear

66
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.053
from your inventory after completion.

67
00:03:23.730 --> 00:03:25.286
Will the Qi Fruit become a regular

68
00:03:25.286 --> 00:03:27.363
on our farms going forward?

69
00:03:28.380 --> 00:03:29.970
Time will tell.

70
00:03:29.970 --> 00:03:34.950
All I know is this melon
is looking smug AF,

71
00:03:34.950 --> 00:03:37.650
and I do not much care for its attitude.

72
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:42.650
Number three on the most
played list, rise, Tarnished!

73
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.170
Nothing new to report from
the Lands Between this month

74
00:03:46.170 --> 00:03:48.810
except that developer From
Software has said work

75
00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:50.887
on the highly anticipated expansion,

76
00:03:50.887 --> 00:03:54.897
"Shadow of the Erdtree", is
quote, "proceeding smoothly".

77
00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:57.720
So that's cool, I guess!

78
00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:00.540
At our number two spot for
the second month in a row,

79
00:04:00.540 --> 00:04:02.340
it's Cyberchoom...

80
00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:06.330
Excuse me, Cyberpunk 2077,

81
00:04:06.330 --> 00:04:08.550
which is seemingly
continuing to ride momentum

82
00:04:08.550 --> 00:04:11.070
from the game's comprehensive 2.0 update

83
00:04:11.070 --> 00:04:13.233
and the new Phantom Liberty expansion.

84
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:17.673
Coming in at number one, Baldur's Gate 3.

85
00:04:18.570 --> 00:04:20.790
Another month, another massive patch

86
00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:23.160
for Larian Studio's sensational

87
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.070
Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

88
00:04:26.070 --> 00:04:30.450
I could delve into the
over 1,000 individual fixes

89
00:04:30.450 --> 00:04:33.030
and tweaks implemented
with patch number four

90
00:04:33.030 --> 00:04:35.370
and their significance
to gameplay experience,

91
00:04:35.370 --> 00:04:37.770
but let's be real.

92
00:04:37.770 --> 00:04:39.450
What we're really all here for

93
00:04:39.450 --> 00:04:41.638
is Karlach's new kiss animation.

94
00:04:41.638 --> 00:04:43.440
(crowd cheering)
(insects buzzing)

95
00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:44.345
Enjoy.

96
00:04:44.345 --> 00:04:49.345
(crowd cheering)
(insects buzzing)

97
00:04:58.710 --> 00:05:01.740
There you have it, the
top 10 games on Steam Deck

98
00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:03.933
from October 2023.

99
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.290
Which games have you been binging on Deck?

00:05:07.290 --> 00:05:08.580
