Monster Hunter Wilds Breaks Records within Hours of Releasing

by

Monster Hunter Wilds looks like it’s going to have a crack at being the biggest game of the year.

Just hours after its release, I found myself joining nearly a million other gamers on Steam, diving into Capcom’s latest hit. This puts it as the eighth most concurrently played game in Steam’s history. With the weekend ahead, I can only imagine how much higher those numbers will climb!

Simultaneous players and sales figures should not be mixed up, but they often coincide. A game with many active users at launch is generally associated with a high number of sold copies.

For a clearer understanding, it’s worth noting that Monster Hunter: World reached its highest point on Steam with approximately 334,000 players playing simultaneously at once. However, the popularity of the franchise has grown even further since then.

In most nations across the globe, the PlayStation 5 is near the top of the sales rankings on the PlayStation Store. However, 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 has emerged as Capcom’s highest-selling game ever, achieving total sales of 28.1 million units.
