Valve has released a list of the most played Steam Deck games for March, and it has a confusing entry: Resident Evil 4. The title released on March 26, giving it less than a week to make the list.

Valve’s Steam Deck is only getting more popular as time goes on. The portable powerhouse is finally getting competition from ASUS and potentially Razer. Gamers around the world are eager to play the latest games on the go with the latest handhelds.

Thanks to Valve’s strong Steam review, the company has just released a list of the most played games on Steam Deck to help you find your next title to play on its portable form factor. You see a lot of the usual suspects, like Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, and Vampire Survivors. However, towards the bottom of the list, you will see an entry that might surprise you.

Resident Evil 4 quietly sneaks into the list

Leon Kennedy’s luscious locks may only have arrived in a remake of the classic Resident Evil 4 on March 26, but it’s already on the list of one of the most played games on the system. The title only had around a week to rank on the list, and yet it managed to become one of the best titles for Valve’s handheld.

Not surprisingly, too. Resident Evil 4 is perfect for the Steam Deck. We have published a list of some of the best settings you should use in the title for optimal performance in the Deck. While it will look better powered by a PS5 or RTX 40 series graphics card, you can still have a great time with the title using AMD’s Van Gogh APU on the platform.

Given the strength of the game and its incredible performance on Steam Deck (unlike The Last of Us), it has been awarded our Steam Deck Game of the Month. If you have another device, like an Ayaneo 2, you should expect stellar performance thanks to Capcom’s ultra-scalable RE Engine.
