Humble Choice June 2024: What to play on Steam Deck

This article is designed to help you to speed up your research. I’ve curated an overview of each game’s ProtonDB tiers and Deck Verified statuses, as well as their HowLongToBeat (HLTB) times. For every title, you’ll find links to its Steam page for more info, ProtonDB for compatibility insights, and ShareDeck for performance configurations tailored to the Steam Deck. Additionally, I’ve included a convenient button for each game to directly search it on YouTube for the Steam Deck. This means you can easily find gameplay footage, reviews, and performance tests without having to type out the search yourself.

June 2024’s Humble Choice lineup is here, bringing a variety of genres to satisfy every type of gamer. From the high-octane action of RISK OF RAIN 2 to the strategic depth of KNIGHTS OF HONOR II: SOVEREIGN, and the creative fun of LEGO® 2K DRIVE AWESOME EDITION, there’s something for everyone.

The selection this month includes games ranging from “Gold” to “Platinum” on ProtonDB, ensuring a range of compatibility for Linux systems and the Steam Deck. Standouts like RISK OF RAIN 2 and WARHAMMER 40,000: BATTLESECTOR offer smooth gameplay experiences with minimal adjustments.

For those seeking shorter adventures or deep, immersive experiences, June’s choices have you covered. Whether you’re interested in quick sessions or lengthy campaigns, there’s something for every schedule.

I’m particularly excited about LEGO® 2K DRIVE AWESOME EDITION and A Guidebook of Babel. LEGO® 2K DRIVE promises thrilling races and creative builds, while A Guidebook of Babel offers intriguing puzzles and beautiful design. Both are perfect for the Steam Deck’s portable gameplay. For those interested in other games, I’ll be hosting giveaways on the @DeckFilter Twitter account, so stay tuned for your chance to win!
