Monster Hunter Wilds Eclipses All Expectations on Launch Day

BBG News

Update [Fri 28th Feb 2025, 3:15pm]: On its release day, Monster Hunter Wilds saw over one million simultaneous users on Steam, with a peak of 1.3 million players. The number could potentially grow even more throughout the weekend.

Currently, the game boasts the sixth-highest number of simultaneous players on Steam ever recorded, and just a slight increase could potentially knock Lost Ark down from its fifth position.

Even though many people are playing it, the game is receiving harsh criticism in online reviews due to its subpar performance on PC. This has led Capcom to release a statement offering some solutions, but we’ll see if these suggestions prove helpful.

The upcoming game, Monster Hunter Wilds, seems poised to compete for the title of the most popular game this year.

In a short span of time after its launch, Capcom’s latest release in their hugely popular franchise boasted nearly one million players simultaneously on Steam. This is the 8th highest number of simultaneous players ever recorded on Steam’s platform, and with the weekend approaching, the game is expected to climb even significantly higher.

Concurrent players should not be mistaken for sales figures, but they often coincide. Generally speaking, when a game has many users playing simultaneously, it’s reasonable to infer that it has sold a significant number of copies.

Stepping back for a moment, let me share some insights about Monster Hunter: World’s peak performance on Steam – it reached an impressive 334,000 players simultaneously! But you know what? The franchise has only grown in popularity since then.

In most countries worldwide, the PS5 ranks high on the PlayStation Store’s sales chart, but games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Fortnite remain more popular in significant markets like the United States and the United Kingdom.

Regardless of the outcome, it appears this will become an enormous success. Notably, Monster Hunter: World stands as Capcom’s highest-grossing title ever, with total sales reaching a staggering 28.1 million units.
