If your Steam Deck is starting to feel a little too… empty, there’s good news on the horizon. Fanatical is offering a new Build Your Own Play on the Go Bundle, and it’s loaded with games that feel tailor-made for couch gaming, cloud saves, and maybe ignoring a few real-world responsibilities.
Announced via GameSpot, this customizable bundle lets you grab up to five titles from a pool of 18 games — all optimized for Steam Deck. And yes, that includes Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, which pretty much guarantees you’ll end up force-pushing someone off a ledge before the week’s over.
What Is the Steam Deck Build Your Own Bundle?
This isn’t just another mystery loot box. Fanatical’s bundle lets you choose the games you want from a pre-selected collection. You can pick 3 games for $4.99, 4 for $6.99, or 5 for $7.99. It’s basically a Steam sale with commitment issues.
All the games are playable on Steam Deck, which means you can finally fill that microSD card with more than just Hades and Slay the Spire (no offense to those two — they’re perfect, just… lonely).
Star Wars Titles Steal the Spotlight
Let’s be honest: one of the most exciting inclusions here is Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The game originally dropped in 2003 but has aged like a fine Corellian brandy. You customize your Jedi, build your lightsaber, and then proceed to hack your way through the galaxy while occasionally defying the laws of physics.
If nostalgia isn’t enough, the Force mechanics are still surprisingly satisfying, and the game’s mission-based structure is great for handheld play.
High on Life Brings the Absurdity
Also in the mix is High on Life, a visually bonkers first-person shooter from the minds behind Rick and Morty. Think alien cities, talking weapons, and dialogue that might make you question every life decision that led to this moment.
It’s weird, chaotic, and very funny — and it plays surprisingly well on Steam Deck. If you’re looking for something wildly different, this one’s worth the slot.
Other Great Picks in the Bundle
Besides Star Wars and sentient firearms, there’s a surprisingly solid lineup of indie and AA titles here. Notable mentions include:
- Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered – Bust ghosts, cause property damage, and pretend you’re one of the 80s originals.
- Sniper Elite 3 – Tactical slow-mo sniping on the go? Yes please.
- Neon Abyss – A roguelike with heavy firepower and neon-soaked chaos.
- Breathedge – Space survival meets sarcastic narration. Think Subnautica meets Portal, kind of.
And that’s just a taste. The full list includes 18 titles, all designed to be Steam Deck compatible or Verified, so you won’t need to do any compatibility acrobatics just to launch the thing.
Who Is This Bundle For?
Pretty much anyone who likes gaming on the go. Whether you’re trying to get more value out of your Steam Deck or you’re just hoarding games like a digital dragon, the value here is hard to beat.
At under $8 for 5 games, that’s potentially dozens of hours of gameplay for less than the price of one overpriced frappuccino and a snack. And let’s face it, one of those games probably involves lightsabers or mutant frogs, so that’s already a win.
Why Steam Deck Optimization Matters
One of the big perks of this bundle is that all games are compatible with the Steam Deck, which isn’t always guaranteed when shopping across digital storefronts. Steam Deck optimization means:
- Controls are mapped correctly
- UI scales well on the smaller screen
- You won’t be rage-quitting because your text is too small to read
It’s the kind of peace of mind every handheld gamer deserves.
When Is It Available?
The bundle is available now through Fanatical. But like most good deals, this one won’t last forever. There’s no set end date listed, but bundles like this tend to rotate quickly.
So if you’re even slightly tempted to add Jedi Academy to your portable library or finally see what High on Life is all about, now’s the time.
Conclusion: More Games, Fewer Regrets
The Build Your Own Play on the Go Bundle is the kind of digital deal that feels custom-built for the Steam Deck generation. With titles ranging from hilarious to nostalgic to just plain weird, there’s a solid mix of experiences waiting to fill your portable backlog.
Whether you want to Force-jump into Jedi trouble, blast aliens with attitude, or relive your childhood with ghost traps, this bundle checks a lot of boxes.
Now all that’s left to do is clear some space on your Deck, download your picks, and try not to get distracted before the first loading screen.
