Descenders - $7.49

Well, you can't get much better than 'ultimate' right? This 2018 3D fishing sim promises fish that "bite like crazy", a realistic look and feel, and plenty of authentic details.

The Ramp - $1.49
🎮 Deck Verified
Described as a 'digital toy', 2021's The Ramp is a straightforward skateboarding game that's all about getting into the flow.

Lonely Mountains Downhill - $9.99

This award-winning indie cycling game challenges you to get down the side of a mountain on your bike.

Super Blood Hockey - $4.49
🎮 Deck Verified
A lovely bit of top-down 2D arcade-style hockey action from developer Loren Lemcke (of Terror of Hemasaurus). This 2017 indie takes things up a notch by doing away with the rulebook, meaning things can get a bit messy.
It's Steam Deck Verified, and is also currently in a few different bundles, so be sure to take a look to ensure you snag the best deal.
‣ Super Blood Hockey for Steam Deck
Volley Pals - $3.74
🎮 Deck Support Unknown
This one is a relatively recent release, having only hit Steam back in April. It's a chaotic take on volleyball, complete with cartoon visuals and arcade style action. Reports of Steam Deck compatibility are mixed however.
Lofi Ping Pong - $1.99
🎮 Deck Verified
Like listening to lofi hip hop on YouTube? Enjoy a bit of table tennis? Put those hands together.
Lofi Ping Pong is a pretty chill looking 'mediative' rhythm game with pixel graphics in which you play ping pong, returning shots to the beat. There's split-screen play too.
‣ Lofi Ping Pong on Steam Deck
Superflight - $0.74
🎮 Deck Playable
A wingsuit flight game from 2017 made by three students — you'll find procedurally generated mountainscape maps to soar through here, and if you're something of a dare devil, you'll be rewarded for pulling off risky 'proximity maneuvers'.
Take flight for less than a dollar.
Mutant Football League - $4.49
🎮 Deck Verified
A rather heavy metal take on American football. Lots of monsters and mutants take to the gridiron to play some gory arcade football. There's online multiplayer, it's Deck Verified, plus there's a demo to try too.
‣ Mutant Football League on Steam
Golf Peaks - $1.99
🎮 Deck Support Unknown
A chill isometric puzzle game from 2018 about climbing mountains whilst playing golf. It's actually a stragic card game at its core, but the golf mechanic earns it a spot on this list. Reports suggest this one runs okay on the Steam Deck, but you may need to do some tinkering.
