Death Stranding Director’s Cut was back at the lower end of the scale, with only enough time for a handful of Kojima-specification cutscenes. I’ve added a bunch of games to this list since I first published it, the positive highlights being Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and RimWorld, which broke four and five hours respectively. You can see the full test settings on the right. For this list, I’ve stuck with what you might call 'normal' usage conditions, like setting screen brightness to 50% but leaving Wi-Fi on. The absolute most I’ve wrung out of the Steam Deck's battery is 9h 17m (in Super Meat Boy, with Airplane mode and minimum screen brightness), while the shortest I’ve seen is a scant 1h 17m ( Horizon Zero Dawn with everything running at max).
Airplane mode off (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on).
It doesn’t have to be one of the outright best games to play on the Steam Deck – as long as I can get it running, I can test it out and add it to the board.
