Borderlands 4 Dethrones Hollow Knight: Silksong, Becomes Top-Selling Game on Steam

On Sept. 17, 2025, SteamDB updated the top sellers for the week ending on Sept. 16, which saw Borderlands 4 usurp Hollow Knight: Silksong’s dominant top position on the chart. The latter has now fallen to fourth place, while PUBG: Battlegrounds rose up to third.

Second place is still Counter-Strike 2; the game continues to be one of the top sellers of the store due to its loot boxes and just how much players can sell their skins for. Perhaps more surprising is the appearance of The Finals in the top 20.

While The Finals has always been overshadowed by its competitors, such as Counter-Strike 2, Apex Legends and PUBG: Battlegrounds, it has shown that it can hang with the gaming goliaths as it just shot up 56 places in just one week.

Other games that have jumped more than 20 places in a single week include Destiny 2, Dying Light: The Beast, Crusader Kings III, The Sims 4, Split Fiction and Limbus Company.

Despite Borderlands 4 being Steam’s top seller currently, there are still problems left to be addressed in the game. Its current review score on Steam is “Mixed,” with players complaining about the game’s optimization.
