New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Sulfur and Probably Stolen - 2026-10-31 Edition

By

Between 2026-10-24 and 2026-10-31 we selected 17 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. The highlight for this week is Sulfur, a great extraction shooter that also brings a lot of gun customization on the table.

And then for the calmer ones, we have another take at the Papers Please genre with Probably Stolen where you play a shopkeeper in a cyberpunk-y future. It goes pretty deep into the actual details of the job, and provides a lot of choices throughout the story.

Our full selection is below.

VIRTUE AND A SLEDGEHAMMER

Released on 27 Oct, 2026, developed by Deconstructeam, and published by Devolver Digital. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 99.3 % Positive (out of 134 total reviews)

About the game: Go back to your hometown and tear it down with a sledgehammer in this narrative exploration game. Confront your past in a devastating story about feeling like you no longer belong in the place you grew up.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players describe it as a deep, emotionally devastating narrative wrapped around the catharsis of a rage room, where you smash your way through your hometown. The story tackles heavy themes like family trauma, grief, and what it means to be human (with a strong anti-AI angle), and many reviewers say it left them in tears and will stay with them for a long time. The visual storytelling, sound design, and soundtrack are widely praised as striking. It’s short, roughly three hours, but considered very much worth the price. Common gripes: the protagonist can only walk (no running), which drags on repeat playthroughs, the smashing can get repetitive, and a few overhead enemies feel frustrating. One reviewer played it on the Steam Deck and found it not fully optimized, defaulting to Medium and stuttering, with Low settings helping though some lag remained.

PROBABLY STOLEN - CYBERPUNK SHOPKEEPER SIM

Released on 28 Oct, 2026, developed by Questing Goose Studio and published by tinyBuild. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Indie, RPG, Simulation, Strategy

Steam Deck Rating: Playable

User Reviews: 97.7 % Positive (out of 1374 total reviews)

About the game: Probably Stolen is a cyberpunk shopkeeping simulator set in a dystopian space station. Craft, trade, and smuggle goods of questionable origin, navigate faction loyalties, and decide how far you’re willing to go to stay afloat. Earn enough to buy out your shop before rising rent forces your hand.

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviews call it a genuinely deep and fun shopkeeping/inventory management RPG, far from the low-effort shop sims on Steam. You run a cyberpunk pawnshop and there are tons of money-making schemes to discover: crafting, brewing, rat and fish farming, gunsmithing, water purification, smuggling, and navigating faction loyalties. The “just one more turn” time sink is a recurring theme, and the dense systems and rich world building are praised. Criticisms: the late game gets repetitive, the ending feels abrupt, some careers like the gunsmith feel unfinished, exploration is limited to a few locations, and the sheer amount of reading and manuals can be overwhelming. Great value for the price.

QUEEN’S DOMAIN

Released on 30 Oct, 2026, developed by Freshly Baked Games LLC and published by Future Friends Games. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure, Indie, RPG

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 95.1 % Positive (out of 324 total reviews)

About the game: A retro-fantasy action RPG with brutal combat and traversal-focused exploration. Embark on a quest to find your father who disappeared on the mysterious Isle of Neasied, where sinister forces gather, secrets hide everywhere, and the sleeping Queen has begun to stir…

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviewers consistently describe it as a loving, polished King’s Field-like, a first-person retro-fantasy action RPG that scratches the same itch as the old FromSoftware titles and games like Verho and Lunacid. The dense level design and rewarding exploration are standout features, full of secrets, hidden areas, and Metroidvania-style traversal. Combat is brutal and stamina-based, very difficult early on, but becomes satisfying once you pick up mobile weapons, and the weapon mutation system is well liked. The retro PS2 aesthetic, atmosphere, and soundtrack are praised. It’s deliberately unhandheld, with no tutorial, minimap, or prompts. Common gripes: the slow, methodical combat and constant weapon switching can get tiring, and a couple reviewers found the music off. One helpful tip circulating is adding -dx12 to launch options for a big FPS boost.

VAMPY’S BIG DAY

Released on 27 Oct, 2026, developed by Jerbob, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure, Indie, RPG

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 94.5 % Positive (out of 182 total reviews)

About the game: Sneak through sunlit villages as a clumsy vampire. Move the sun with a fairy’s help to cast shadows, then spare or devour the villagers.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players find it a fun, whimsical, and goofy little vampire game with a cute MS Paint-style art style, charming characters, and a great soundtrack. The core mechanic of moving the sun with a fairy’s help to cast shadows is unique and well executed, and the morality system with multiple endings (pacifist versus genocide, Undertale-like) gives it replay value. It’s short, around two to three hours, and clearly made with a lot of passion by its solo developer. Common gripes: you can’t go back to previous levels, which frustrates completionists who miss secrets or potatoes, and the stealth, especially against guards, can feel unfair and tedious. A couple reviewers noted some lag when NPCs load in.

THE MAILROOM

Released on 26 Oct, 2026, developed by Crowfriend and published by Vendetta. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Indie, Simulation

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 93.7 % Positive (out of 127 total reviews)

About the game: Survive the horrors of hell’s deadest-end job: a human mail clerk. Process occult specimens, sort infernal mail, repair cursed machinery, and survive your shift in a cozy horror workplace simulator.

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviews compare it to a cozy, 3D Papers Please-like, where you sort infernal mail, process occult specimens, repair cursed machinery, and do anatomy work in hell’s mailroom. The atmosphere is a well balanced mix of spooky, funny, and comforting, with a PS1-style aesthetic, a nice soundtrack, and plenty of easter eggs (including petting the frogs). The story is short, roughly one and a half to two hours, and that’s the main criticism, with several reviewers feeling it ends too quickly and leaves threads unresolved. An endless mode (with speedrun and Twitch integration) unlocks after the story for those who want more. A few find the mechanics one-off and the movement clunky.

SULFUR

Released on Oct 28, 2026, developed by Perfect Random, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure, Indie, RPG, Simulation

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 90 % Positive (out of 6557 total reviews)

About the game: SULFUR is a modern old-school action-adventure: Outsmart enemies, find treasure, improve weapons, harness powers. Delve deeper, find answers, make it end.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players describe it as a genuinely fun extraction shooter fused with rogue-lite and looter-shooter mechanics, and the deep gun modding is the standout. You can slap oils, scrolls, and enchantments onto weapons to build absurd loadouts, and the “die and lose everything” extraction tension keeps every run on edge. The tight gunplay, soundtrack, and 2D-sprite-in-3D art style are widely praised, and a lot of people call it addictive, with one reviewer joking it’s really an “extraction cooking game with gun elements” thanks to the recipe system. It’s still in Early Access, so the main gripes are balance and grind: the lose-everything penalty can feel punishing, some oils and gear land as bad choices, storage is tight, and there’s no multiplayer or real character progression yet. A few early bugs (crashes, save wipes, soft locks) have been worked through in updates, and the launch performance issues seem mostly fixed. Overall a very positive reception, especially for fans of Brotato, Borderlands, and Tarkov-style loops.

DEADLY DAYS: ROADTRIP

Released on 29 Oct, 2026, developed by Pixelsplit and published by Sidekick Publishing. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Indie

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 89.5 % Positive (out of 708 total reviews)

About the game: Loot, shoot, and mow down zombie hordes in this bullet heaven fever dream. Hit the road, decide when to extract, organize your backpack into game-breaking builds – and get that sweet inventory management kick when new loot fits just right.

Steam Reviews Summary: This is a bullet-heaven survivor-like roguelite where the core hook is the Tetris-style backpack inventory, and reviewers love how placing items in the right spots triggers synergies and builds. The loot, the shooting, and the “one more run” pull are called genuinely addictive, and the day/night cycle plus unlockable characters with different playstyles add variety. It’s in Early Access and the negatives cluster around content and balance: there’s essentially one level broken into zones, meta progression is slow, the weapon and item pool is thin, and several players feel the zombies scale faster than you do, which makes the late game and endless mode frustrating. A number of reviews, especially from the Chinese community, complain that updates nerfed loot drops and buffed enemy numbers, and a few note the biomes and music are a bit stale. People keep asking for online co-op (it’s couch only right now), more items, and more regions. Fans of Brotato and Backlash Battles seem to be the target, and most who enjoy that genre still recommend it despite the rough edges.

THE WOLF AMONG US REMASTERED

Released on 29 окт. 2026 г., developed by Telltale and published by Telltale, . [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Экшены, Приключенческие игры, Казуальные игры

Steam Deck Rating: Playable

User Reviews: 88.1 % Positive (out of 210 total reviews)

About the game: A dark detective thriller where folklore is real, violence is chilling, and every choice has consequences.

Steam Reviews Summary: Longtime fans are back and raving, calling it one of the best Telltale games ever made, with the story, characters, voice acting, and noir atmosphere still holding up 13 years later. Bigby Wolf is a particular favorite, and players enjoy the choice-driven detective gameplay where you can play him as the peacekeeper or the big bad. The remaster adds about 40 minutes of deleted scenes, a black-and-white noir mode, behind-the-scenes interviews, and an art gallery, which fans say is worth it on its own. The biggest complaints are technical and QOL: there’s no ultrawide support (the screen just stretches, which drove several people to refund), chapter select was removed so you have to replay a whole episode to change a single choice, and language support is limited to just English, French, German, and Spanish, which upset the Chinese, Portuguese, and Korean communities. On the Steam Deck it reportedly runs super well, though you do need to switch it to controller controls first. Some see it as a smart money-maker ahead of the long-awaited sequel, and a few grumble the original never really needed a remaster, but the overall mood is a warm welcome back.

TERRIBLE LIZARDS

Released on 29 Oct, 2026, developed by WDR Studios LLC and published by Digital Pajamas, . [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure, Casual, Indie, Simulation, Strategy, Free To Play

Steam Deck Rating: Playable

User Reviews: 84.2 % Positive (out of 234 total reviews)

About the game: Terrible Lizards is a horror parkour game set against the backdrop of an old Route 66 attraction… with something dark and sinister lurking below. To escape, you’ll need to move fast, navigate challenging terrain, and uncover what Dalton’s Dinos is really hiding. You’d better start running.

Steam Reviews Summary: This is JT Music’s first game, a horror parkour title set in an old Route 66 dino attraction, and the movement is the clear highlight. Reviewers repeatedly compare the fluid, intuitive parkour favorably to Mirror’s Edge, and the dinosaur designs, body horror, atmosphere, and chase sequences get a lot of praise, with one calling a water-physics chase a genre first. The live-action tapes mixed into the story and the voice acting are also called out as strong. The problem is polish: it’s full of game-breaking bugs, with players falling out of the map, hard-locking in an endless void, sections failing to load, and soft-locking, and the optimization is poor with FPS dropping into the 30s and 40s in later chapters. The gameplay loop (puzzle, then get chased, repeat) gets repetitive, the story leans on tropes and under-explains a lot, and several feel it isn’t actually that scary for a horror game. The final act in particular is said to drag. Dev blogs with bug fixes are starting to pop up, and the consensus is that there’s a passionate, well-made core here that just needs more time in the oven.

REKA

Released on 26 Oct, 2026, developed by Emberstorm Entertainment and published by Fireshine Games, . [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Adventure, Casual, Indie, RPG

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 83.6 % Positive (out of 2061 total reviews)

About the game: Step into a cozy, witchy world inspired by Slavic folklore. Build, decorate, and customize your walking chicken-legged cottage as you wander through misty autumn woodlands. Help local villagers, tame forest creatures, and learn gentle witchcrafts under the tutelage of the great witch Baba Jaga.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players fall hard for the atmosphere, describing the autumnal, Slavic-folklore witch world as immaculate, with the lighting, music, and cozy cottage-core vibe being the real draw. The chicken-legged Baba Yaga cottage you build and decorate is a huge part of the appeal, and the respectful take on Slavic folklore, the quirky villagers, and the gentle witchcraft are called a standout in the cozy genre, with one reviewer dubbing it a “Howl’s Moving Castle simulator.” The catch is that it’s very much Early Access and buggy: game-breaking issues, stuck dialogue, invisible NPCs, lost saves (there’s no autosave), and poor optimization that stresses even decent hardware all come up a lot. Content is still thin at just a couple of villages, the gameplay turns into fetch quests after the intro, and the UI and building system are clunky. The devs are active and responsive on Discord and pushing regular updates, which keeps the community patient. On the Steam Deck it’s not well optimized and plays better on PC. Most reviewers say it’s worth watching and will be great at 1.0, but a lot recommend waiting for more content and stability before buying.

FANGTOPIA

Released on 26 Oct, 2026, developed by Absolutely Games and published by Secret Mode. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Casual, Indie, Simulation, Strategy

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 100 % Positive (out of 53 total reviews)

About the game: Sink your teeth into Fangtopia, a cozy and relaxing tile puzzle game where you assemble landscapes to craft a monsterrific paradise for friendly ghouls and ghosts. Design a carefree, scare-free world of gentle chills.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players describe it as a cozy, addictive tile puzzle that feels like Dorfromantik with extra layers and a spooky twist. The chill mix of planning and “just go off general vibes” strategy is a standout, and the art, music, and sound design are widely praised for capturing a gentle, spooky atmosphere. Multiple game modes, sticker unlocks, and Island Mode with train tracks keep runs fresh, and the fact that rivers and tracks no longer break biomes is a welcome fix over the genre’s usual annoyances. Minor gripes: content can feel a bit thin and mobile-ish for the price, there’s no endless mode yet, and random objectives can occasionally make or break a run. On Steam Deck it runs but one reviewer noted around 40fps with some stuttering, so medium settings are recommended.

USAGI SHIMA: BUNNY ISLAND

Released on 29 Oct, 2026, developed by studio rabbiko and published by studio rabbiko, . [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Casual, Simulation

Steam Deck Rating: Playable

User Reviews: 98.9 % Positive (out of 87 total reviews)

About the game: Welcome to Usagi Shima! Build your own bunny paradise, attract fluffy tourists with toys and decorations, and befriend lovable bunnies by feeding, petting, and playing with them. Relax with rabbits in a beautiful sandbox of your own design.

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviews are full of love for the adorable art style and the relaxing, low-pressure loop of decorating an island and watching bunnies play. Many players coming from the mobile version are happy the PC port removes ads and in-app purchases, drops the long build timers, and adds QoL touches like keybinds, full-island screenshots, and an idle mode for a second monitor. Free placement of decorations and the adjustable day/night cycle are highlights. The main complaint is the parkour minigame, which is the primary source of golden carrots and can feel dizzying or like a chore, plus a few notes that content gets repetitive and there are only a handful of minigames. Some also mention odd hitboxes when placing objects close together.

CROC 2 KINGDOM OF THE GOBBOS

Released on 29 окт. 2026 г., developed by Titanium Studios and published by Argonaut Games. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Экшены, Приключенческие игры

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 97.6 % Positive (out of 41 total reviews)

About the game: Croc’s back, and this time he’s searching for his long-lost parents. Revived by the Dantinis, arch enemy Baron Dante vows revenge. Explore four mainland villages, rescue Gobbos, and battle new Guardians. Race cars and speedboats, ride minecarts, and take to the skies in the remastered 1999 classic.

Steam Reviews Summary: Nostalgic players are thrilled to revisit the 1999 classic, and the remaster is widely praised for keeping the original charm while adding three difficulty modes (1999 PS1, 2000 PC, and Remastered), graphics presets with CRT/VHS filters and swappable face models, QoL improvements, and a bonus Croc2pedia. Performance is called smooth, including at high refresh rates. The main criticism is the AI-upscaled textures looking cheap and sloppy, though they can be turned off, and a handful of bugs like falling through floors or swing issues. A couple of returning players felt the movement is a bit sluggish and that keybindings can’t be changed. On Steam Deck it’s Verified and one reviewer said it plays flawlessly on the OLED, while another noted some audio glitches and frame drops on the original LCD Deck.

TOM THE POSTGIRL

Released on 29 Oct, 2026, developed by Oopsie Daisies, and published by ARTE France. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Adventure, Casual, Indie

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 97.1 % Positive (out of 69 total reviews)

About the game: Join Tom, the village’s new postgirl, and get to know the locals, perhaps a little too well. Her method, although controversial, is highly effective: intense, obsessive stalking.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players call it a charming, absurdly funny exploration game full of weird details and black humor, with a distinctive hand-drawn black-and-white, frame-by-frame art style that oozes charm. The multiple endings and achievement system encourage replaying, and the soundtrack gets praise. The most common note is that it’s short, roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours, so some suggest waiting for a sale. A few found the walking and hitbox navigation a bit clunky, and one reviewer felt the full game was milder than the demo. Overall it’s seen as a fun, low-stakes treat for fans of dark comedy, often compared to Thank Goodness You’re Here.

S.O.N.A.R. - SUBMARINE OPERATORS NOT ACTUALLY READY

Released on 29 Oct, 2026, developed by Abylight Barcelona and published by Abylight Studios. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Adventure, Casual, Indie, Simulation

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 97 % Positive (out of 67 total reviews)

About the game: S.O.N.A.R. (Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready) is a 1–6 player co-op submarine sim where teamwork is essential, panic is inevitable, and sinking is always one wrong button away. Use sonar, pilot, fight, repair, and pray your friends know what to do.

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviews describe it as chaotic, hilarious co-op fun, often compared to Barotrauma in 3D or a Sea of Thieves vibe, where teamwork and proximity chat create great moments. The many roles, breadth of missions, PVE/PVP and open-world modes, good optimization, and low launch price are all highlighted, and players praise the stable, content-rich launch and active dev team. Gripes include the same alarm for everything, a mic filter that can cut out speech, clunky movement and forced animations when handling items, and the fact that it’s very hard solo since there’s no AI crew to fill the stations. Best experienced with a full group of friends.

REMOTHERED: RED NUN’S LEGACY

Released on 27 Oct, 2026, developed by Stormind Games and published by Stormind Games, . [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure

Steam Deck Rating: Verified

User Reviews: 92.9 % Positive (out of 42 total reviews)

About the game: Your daughter has been kidnapped. In the trilogy’s final chapter, enter a nightmare to save her, survive what hunts you, and uncover the Red Nun’s truth through retrocognition, mirror abilities and moth manipulation. A modern return to classic survival horror with an Italian neo-giallo twist.

Steam Reviews Summary: Fans of the series call it the best of the trilogy, praising the creepy Italian neo-giallo atmosphere, detailed Sicilian setting, refined stealth gameplay, and a strong story with a satisfying, emotional ending. Performance and sound design get positive mentions too. The main criticisms are that it’s short at around 4 to 5 hours, the puzzles are on the simpler side, and the price is a bit high for the content, with some wishing for a hard mode. A few found the story confusing and felt it plays more like a stealth quest than classic survival horror. Overall it’s seen as a solid, well-crafted conclusion to the trilogy.

VETERANS: NAPOLEONIC WARS

Released on 28 Oct, 2026, developed by Tactical Boar, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Indie, Strategy, Early Access

Steam Deck Rating: Playable

User Reviews: 86.8 % Positive (out of 38 total reviews)

About the game: Command thousands of soldiers in a Napoleonic real-time strategy game where every volley matters. Win through quick decisions and well-chosen formations. Preserve your troops, develop veteran units, and turn the tide of battle.

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviews are mixed on the execution but positive on the potential. Players like the big, varied maps, the tactical depth of formations and morale, the satisfying Napoleonic combat, and the solid optimization, with many comparing it favorably to Ultimate General. The biggest recurring complaint is the enemy AI, described as passive and dumb, along with poor pathfinding, a bare-bones UI, and only 10 missions at launch for the price. Some also flagged historical inaccuracies and a few AI-generated illustrations. It’s generally seen as a promising early access that needs more polish before it’s a confident buy.
