Even though it was released not too long ago when this article was written, Monster Hunter Wilds has already made history by breaking records. Remarkably, it has managed to climb up the Top 10 list of games with the most simultaneous users on Steam, outperforming heavyweight gaming giants such as Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, and even recent multiplayer titles like Marvel Rivals and Helldivers 2.
The game, Monster Hunter, reached a high of 987,482 simultaneous players as per SteamDB, making it the 8th most popular game, pushing Elden Ring down to the 9th spot with 953,426 peak users. If more players join in the coming hours, Monster Hunter might even overtake Cyberpunk 2077, which recorded over a million concurrent players about four years ago.
Compared to Monster Hunter: Rise, Monster Hunter: World saw more players when it launched – about 334,684 users back in August 2018, roughly seven months after its initial release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. On the other hand, Rise peaked at around 231,360 users. Like World, Rise was not available on all platforms simultaneously; it was initially a timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch, launching in 2021, before being ported to PC and other consoles in early 2022.
Based on our assessment, Wilds has achieved substantial early success. It represents a distinct advancement in the Monster Hunter formula, making it more accessible and enjoyable for both beginners and seasoned players.
2025 has seen a promising beginning for Capcom, marking the continuation of their second period of prosperity. Over the past while, they’ve launched games like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Street Fighter 6, and the Resident Evil 4 Remake, in addition to collections such as Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection and Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection that have been well-received by critics.
