Seven exceptional Steam Deck games are currently available for just through this month’s Humble Choice subscription. This curated selection features an array of titles, from the stunning, hand-drawn 2D action-platformer Nine Sols to the immersive Japanese action-adventure Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Each game not only stands out on its own but also delivers an outstanding experience on the Steam Deck.
Steam Deck’s Dominance in Handheld Gaming
The Steam Deck continues to reign as the premier handheld gaming PC, even amidst rising competition from notable contenders like the Xbox Ally X and the formidable Ayaneo Next 2. A game that earns a Steam Deck Verified or Playable rating is a testament to its capability to provide an enjoyable handheld experience. This month’s bundle boasts seven out of eight titles that meet this esteemed criterion, making it an exceptional opportunity to enhance your portable gaming library.
Signing up for Humble Choice is straightforward: for a monthly fee of .99 / £11.49, subscribers gain immediate access to a fresh lineup of eight games. The total value of this month’s offerings reaches an impressive 6.92 on Steam, ensuring remarkable value right from the start. The flexibility of the subscription allows users to cancel at any time, enabling you to claim these games—yours to keep forever—before unsubscribing if desired.

Nine Sols shines brightly among this selection. Its breathtaking art style and enchanting soundtrack complement the engaging 2D action platforming gameplay, making it a perfect fit for the Steam Deck. The game’s relatively simple graphics ease the load on the device’s GPU, allowing players to enjoy higher resolutions and extended play sessions.
Conversely, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name presents a more demanding challenge for the Steam Deck. While it may not boast the graphical prowess of titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or Black Myth: Wukong, its third-person fighting mechanics translate well to handheld play, offering a delightful Yakuza adventure filled with excitement.
No discussion of this bundle would be complete without mentioning Streets of Rage 4. The latest entry in this iconic side-scrolling beat ’em up series features an electrifying ’80s synth soundtrack, charming hand-drawn visuals, and exhilarating combat, solidifying its status as one of the best games for the Steam Deck.
Moreover, this month’s Humble Choice bundle includes Intravenous II, Dungeon Tycoon, Beholder Conductor, and Godlike Burger, all of which are easy to run and perfectly suited for handheld gaming.
The only title in this collection that does not fully support the Steam Deck is Lost Skies. While the game can technically run, its controller support and save game system do not integrate well with the Steam Deck. However, players can navigate these limitations by opting for keyboard and mouse controls.
