Steam’s Best-Selling Game Officially Steam Deck Verified

Currently, the top-selling game on the Steam charts is Far Far West, a new first-person shooter that supports 1-4 players in co-op mode. It’s outperforming popular titles like Windrose, Gamble With Your Friends, Forza Horizon 6, Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, Pragmata, and Crimson Desert. Developed by Evil Raptor and published by Fireshine Games, Far Far West launched on April 28th and has quickly become a hit with players, earning an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam – meaning 97% of over 9,500 user reviews are positive. This success is particularly notable because the developer’s previous games, Pumpkin Jack (2020) and Akimbot (2024), didn’t achieve the same level of popularity or critical acclaim. Remarkably, Far Far West is achieving all of this while still in early access.
