Valve released its monthly usage data for June 2026, revealing that Slay the Spire 2 has taken the top spot as the most played game on the Steam Deck. This shift in the leaderboard matters to players because it signals a major change in what the handheld community is actually playing right now. The monthly chart provides a clear snapshot of current gaming habits on the device.
New entries include Mina the Hollower and Megabonk in volatile monthly rankings
The updated list covers the top 20 most played titles on the Steam Deck platform for the entire month of June. Valve tracks these metrics to show which games are driving the most engagement on the handheld hardware. The data reflects the active player base rather than just total sales figures.
The chart experienced significant turnover compared to previous months, with five new games entering the top 20 and five others dropping out. This level of churn is higher than the typical average of three to four changes seen in standard monthly reports. The new entries include Mina the Hollower, Megabonk, The Witcher 3, DAVE THE DIVER, and DELTARUNE.
Several popular titles left the top 20 list, including Subnautica 2, Subnautica, Vampire Crawlers, Diablo 4, and Everything is Crab. The removal of these games indicates a shift in player focus away from these specific titles. The final confirmed fact is that Slay the Spire 2 remains the dominant title on the platform for this period.
