As a gamer, I’ve been swept up in the thrill of breaking records with Wilds, a game that’s seen over a million players online simultaneously on Steam. However, my gaming experience is often disrupted by technical hiccups on PC, as I frequently see fellow gamers voicing their frustrations about these issues on social media.
Once again, the popular role-playing game (RPG) series developed by Capcom, famously known for its monster-hunting themes, has made its return. This time, it introduces a diverse array of both fresh and familiar giant beasts that players can track down in their natural habitats.
As an ardent enthusiast, I’ve discovered that the colossal squid can be spotted from the get-go. However, reeling one in isn’t always achievable until you ascend to a higher rank and complete various side missions to gain access to top-notch fishing equipment.
As a passionate fan, I must say, we’re not just witnessing the final round of the Open Qualifiers; it’s more like the climax after an epic battle that started with over 90,000 participants! Now, only 80 teams remain, spread across five distinct regions. In this thrilling phase, merely 12 teams will emerge victorious and move on to the preliminaries, and if luck favors them, they’ll advance to the PUBG Mobile Global Open itself.
Let’s compare the launch success of different Monster Hunter games:
In just 35 minutes after its release, Monster Hunter Wilds became a massive sensation and surpassed its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, in terms of simultaneous players. At its peak, World only had 334 thousand concurrent players, whereas Wilds already boasted twice that number at the same point in time. Even Monster Hunter Rise, which followed World, couldn’t match this feat as it peaked at a lower 231 thousand concurrent players.
The new game, Monster Hunter Wilds, was way more popular than its predecessor (Monster Hunter World) right from the start. Even another newer game, Monster Hunter Rise, didn’t have as many players playing together at its peak.
