Another fantastic month of games just dropped via Humble Choice, with Steam Deck owners able to pick up eight verified or playable games for just $14.99, saving well over $200 against the total MSRP. This month’s selection includes epic everything from the epic, 100+ hour JRPG Persona 5 Royal to the nostalgic tactical strategy game Warpips.
The Steam Deck OLED is still happily occupying the top spot on our guide to buying the best gaming handheld, and each month, Humble Choice offers a great way to add Deck-compatible games to your Steam library for way under MSRP.
Breaking down the numbers, for just $14.99 / £11.49, you can save $234.93 / £200.19 against the total MSRP of this month’s games on Steam.

Just like last month, we have six verified games and two playable ones. The most notable title is Persona 5 Royal, a huge JRPG with rich storytelling and tight turn-based combat. This series is ideal for anyone looking to sink countless hours into a new world, and you don’t even need to have played any of the other games in the series to understand what’s happening in it.
Elsewhere, Banishers Ghost of New Eden is an action-RPG from the team behind Vampyre, Life is Strange, and Jusant. This pedigree shows in Banishers, with its remarkably solid story, great visuals, and enjoyable combat.
Banishers also comes with great replayability, as key decisions will alter your story, so completionists will have plenty to do once the credits roll for the first time. Bagging Banishers and Persona 5 Royal in the same month means we’re eating well when it comes to story-heavy games.
The final game I’ll highlight is Warpips, an indie game that proudly displays its simplistic art style and old-school tactical gameplay front and center. It also has a fantastic soundtrack, and missions can be as short as 10-20 minutes, meaning it’s ideal for the Steam Deck, especially if you’re on the move.
While these games are all rated for the Steam Deck, you can also play them on other handhelds. If you’re looking for a portable device with more power, check out our AOKZOE A1X review, and see how this new handheld sheds the awkwardness of its Windows operating system to be a more realistic Steam Deck competitor, even if it’s expensive.
