Monster Hunter Wilds Ranks Among Steam’s Top Sellers of 2025, Despite Poor PC Port Performance

Valve has unveiled the official list of best-selling games on Steam for 2025, featuring a mix of expected hits and some unexpected entries. Notably, *Monster Hunter Wilds* managed to secure a spot in the top twelve, even after being criticized as one of the worst PC ports of the year.

Here’s the complete rundown of the top 24 best-selling new Steam games, divided into two sections. The games within each section are listed in no particular order. First, the top 12:

And numbers 13-24:

The list showcases major blockbusters alongside more niche titles like *Anno 117: Pax Romana* and *Europa Universalis V*. It was surprising to see *Civilization 7* in the top 12, given its rocky launch and mixed reception regarding some new features and a lackluster endgame. Yet, *Monster Hunter Wilds* also claimed a high position despite its poor user ratings, as fans eagerly await essential optimization patches.

Capcom’s action-RPG was also highlighted as one of the worst PC ports of 2025. Technical analysts have expressed confusion over the game’s performance issues, which persist even after the latest Title 4 Update, while upcoming titles like *Pragmata* and *Resident Evil Requiem* seem to be performing well on the platform. “Definitely one of the poorest games I’ve reviewed in a long time from a technical performance perspective,” remarked an analyst during their annual recap.

Capcom has promised significant performance enhancements for 2026, but these improvements will be rolled out over several months. As the one-year anniversary of *Monster Hunter Wilds* approaches, PC players are left wondering if the game will finally become playable or if it will continue to suffer from framerate drops and texture pop-in, among other issues.
