Sometimes games on modern engines can run surprisingly well.
DSOGaming continues to summarize the gaming results of 2025. Recently, journalists recalled the most beautiful projects, and now they decided to present a list of the most optimized ones.
For DSOGaming, a "well-optimized PC game" is:
[...] a game that scales well on multiple CPU cores, does not suffer from "console" side effects (such as very low FOV, gamepad-only indicators, terrible keyboard and mouse controls, and mouse acceleration/smoothing issues). Moreover, it should justify its high video card requirements and be able to scale on older video cards
The most optimized PC games of 2025 (according to DSOGaming):
- Ninja Gaiden 4
- Dynasty Warriors: Origins
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
- Stellar Blade
- ARC Raiders — the project was created on the Unreal Engine 5 base, but many players note good optimization (often modern releases on UE5 are full of various technical problems)
- Dying Light: The Beast
- DOOM: The Dark Ages
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
- Battlefield 6
- Atomfall
