When I look for suggestions and visit “what are you playing” discussions, its usually older games and its hard to find newer gems for SD.

What have you played (2025 release) this year that’s been worth it?

Feel free to mention:

– Why it’s great on the Deck

– Any tweaks/settings you used

– Whether it’s Verified or Playable

I feel like 2024 was a better year for SD games but I might be missing some.

The only game I played (partially) on SD that came out this year is:

Expedition 33 (Playable)

Looks great on the deck, turn based combat makes it even better for SD. 30-40 fps in the map and during combat, 50+ during exploration.
