In a new post shared on social media, HowLongToBeat, the popular website used for tracking and logging playthroughs, among other highlights, listed the “Most Completed” titles of the year, of which Expedition 33 earned the top spot.
On the HowLongToBeat website, a whopping 8,000 people have logged that they have “Beat” Expedition 33, with another 1,100 or so players actively playing the game.
Of course, so much of this list is based on the willingness of gamers to A) have an account at HowLongToBeat and B) actively log their gaming time and status. Still, that so many people would do all that speaks volumes about what kind of game Expedition 33 is.
Sandfall Interactive has added an almost limitless photo mode to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
On a separate note, it is pretty wild to see a game as punishing as Silksong in the No. 2 spot. Dispatch having its final episode release in mid-November and the title as a whole finishing at No. 5 is also a testament to its popularity.
The lists don’t stop there, though, as HowLongToBeat has also categorized the top games that people “Retired” or dropped.
Delta Force s Campaign May Have Been Too Much To Handle For Players
In a separate social media post, HowLongToBeat revealed its Top 10 most “Retired” games, which was topped at No. 1 by Persona 5: The Phantom X, the free-to-play spin-off title that drew ire from fans for alleged favoritism towards the game’s Asian servers.
Delta Force being at No. 2 makes a ton of sense when you factor in how notoriously difficult the campaign was, along with stiff competition in the shooter genre, including the long-awaited revival of Battlefield that likely pushed players away.

All in all, it’s a rather neat way to help categorize gaming in 2025. Grand Theft Auto 6 surely has to be the most “Completed” game in 2026, right?
