Monster Hunter Wilds Breaks Steam Record: 1 Million Concurrent Players

Author : Lily Update:Mar 13,2025

Monster Hunter Wilds has exploded onto the scene with a phenomenal launch, boasting nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam alone. This Capcom action-adventure title, released simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, swiftly ascended to become Steam's eighth most-played game ever, peaking at an astounding 987,482 concurrent users.

This surpasses the all-time peak concurrent player counts of mega-hits like Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, and Baldur's Gate 3, significantly outpacing its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, which reached a peak of 334,684 concurrent players on Steam in 2018. It's important to note that the true peak concurrent player count for Monster Hunter Wilds is likely even higher, as Sony and Microsoft don't publicly release their player numbers.

The question now is: how high will the Steam concurrent player count climb as Monster Hunter Wilds enters its first weekend and beyond? A breach of the 1 million concurrent player mark seems imminent, potentially surpassing Cyberpunk 2077. Could 2 million be within reach?

While Capcom hasn't yet revealed official sales figures for Monster Hunter Wilds, all indications point to a tremendously successful launch. (Recall that Monster Hunter World achieved over 25 million sales in six years, solidifying its place as Capcom's best-selling title.) However, the game currently holds a "Mixed" user review rating on Steam, with some players reporting performance issues.

IGN awarded Monster Hunter Wilds an 8/10 in its review, stating: "Monster Hunter Wilds continues to refine the series' rough edges, resulting in incredibly fun battles, though it lacks a true sense of challenge."
