In August, Black Myth: Wukong ranked as the second most-played game simultaneously on Steam, boasting over 2.2 million players. Approximately a year ago, Palworld also surpassed the 2 million mark for simultaneous players on Steam, making it only the second game ever to achieve this feat on Valve’s platform, with PUBG still holding the record at 3.2 million players.

Monster Hunter Wilds debuted recently on February 28 and had a fantastic opening on PC. It surpassed previous Steam records for the series, even outperforming Monster Hunter World which didn’t have simultaneous console releases like Wilds did. On its release day, Wilds attracted more players than Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077. However, while it’s been quite popular, some PC gamers have encountered performance problems with the action-adventure game, resulting in a mix of reviews on Steam. Monster Hunter now stands as Capcom’s second most successful franchise ever.
