Hades 2 Crowned the "Best Game on Steam Deck" at the 2025 Steam Awards

The community has spoken and the decision has been made: Hades 2 is officially the Best Game on Steam Deck, according to the winners of the 2025 Steam Awards revealed this weekend. The sequel to Supergiant Games' acclaimed roguelike beat out strong contenders and solidified what many players already knew: Melinoë's journey through the underworld seems tailor-made for Valve's handheld.

The games Hades 2 surpassed were: Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor (the 'survivor' spin-off of the popular co-op shooter), BALL x PIT, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, and CloverPit. Although the SteamDeckHQ team mentioned a special fondness for BALL x PIT, the mass of players opted for the Greek mythology and frantic combat of Supergiant.
