    Worth noting that Steam doesn’t track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn’t include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.

          Ah that’s a good point. I main Windows myself on Deck, due to Game Pass, so I forget about that side of things.

          Edit: The amount of downvotes I got just for mentioning using Windows on Deck…

      Do you think any of such games would be in the list?

      I’d imagine only a smaller subset of people even set up their Steam Deck for third party games.

        I dunno, I feel like the Steam Deck’s core audience is “people who liked the Switch’s form factor but also like mods and third-party launchers.”

          I think that’s what we see and may be misattributing of a small active subset that is very technical and invested.

          It’s on the steam store. I’m sure many people buy and play, and don’t ever read or write on a community like this. They’re “invisible” here, but impact if not dominate the playtime ranking.

              • under Home -> Power, select “Desktop Mode.”
              • Open Steam in desktop mode, and go to your Library.
              • Select a game, and go to Properties -> Local Files.
              • a file browser should open and show the game files just like you’d see on PC.
