Hogwarts Legacy has shown no signs of stopping since it was released a month ago, shattering the already high expectations from the fans. Despite all of its challenges, the game has been a massive success and has managed to win over players worldwide with its captivating story and stunning visuals.

Hogwarts Legacy was released on February 10th for consoles and was verified for the Steam Deck at launch. Many people had low hopes for the Steam Deck running Hogwarts Legacy before its debut since they believed the hardware was inadequate for the demanding nature of the game.

Yet, it appears that the Steam Deck has endured, and many are enjoying playing Hogwarts Legacy on the portable console since it was ranked first on the list of the top 20 Steam Deck games played in March.

Better late than never! Here's a quick look at the top 20 games of March on Steam Deck, sorted by playtime.

Hogwarts Legacy appears to be functioning better than what was anticipated of it on the Steam Deck. As the creators are constantly working to enhance its performance on various systems, we can expect even better performance in the future.

The Steam Deck also allows cross-platform saving between Steam on PC and the portable console. This may have encouraged players to pick up Hogwarts Legacy, even away from their main gaming PC.

The Steam Deck is not the only portable experience for Hogwarts Legacy since a Nintendo Switch release has also been confirmed. Judging by this popularity, fans can expect Hogwarts Legacy to continue its popularity on Nintendo Switch.

Looking at the other games, titles like Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 continue to be incredibly popular on the Steam Deck. Valve has provided users with a new way to play these games, perhaps even encouraging players to do second or third playthroughs.

However, Hogwarts Legacy has prevailed as the most played game. It also held the top spot last month, and it would not be surprising to see it back on top next month. On that note, what do you think about Hogwarts Legacy on the handheld? Let us know in the comments section.
