Monster Hunter Wildsis finally out and is already an all-timer when it comes to how many people it has drawn in for the hunt.
To put things into perspective,Monster Hunter Wildswas already a massive hit merely 35 minutes after release. At that time,Wildswas already twice bigger in terms of concurrent players thanMonster Hunter Worldhad ever been, which had its all-time peak at 334 thousand concurrent players.Monster Hunter Rise, the title that succeededWorld, was also a hugely successful title, but it topped at a lower 231 thousand concurrent players.
Within 35 minutes of release, Monster Hunter Wilds has already hit 738K concurrent Steam players.In comparison, MH World’s all-time peak is 334K and MH Rise at 231Kpic.twitter.com/eqpgOe8pkC
But that was roughly 10 hours prior to the writing of this piece, so basically old news when it comes to an event of such magnitude in the gaming world. Right now,Monster Hunter Wildsis clocking in at over 1.2 million players, after an all-time peak of over 1.3 million.
Those are awe-inspiring numbers, especially considering that it also requires a really powerful PC to run. In fact, that seems to be the game’s only problem right now, as many are complaining aboutserious performance issues, even on very high-end machines. So, if doubts regarding how well your PC will run Wilds are the only thing holding you back from hitting buy, then you should probably wait a little longer till Capcom fixes these issues — it’s not as if the game is in dire need of your money to warrant a sequel. That said, it is afantastic titlewell worth looking at.
On top of the PC,Monster Hunter Wildsalso released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, where we can right now only assume it’s already doing pretty fantastic numbers.
