This remarkable achievement comes as no surprise, considering Monster Hunter Wilds' explosive popularity. It soared past one million concurrent Steam players during its opening weekend, even surpassing Cyberpunk 2077 to become the 7th most-played game on the platform. This surge also propelled Steam to a record-breaking 40 million concurrent players for the first time.

Our Monster Hunter Wilds review praised its refined gameplay, stating that it "continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge."

The enduring appeal of the Monster Hunter franchise is undeniable. Capcom revealed that the series, which debuted in 2004 on PlayStation 2, has now exceeded a staggering 108 million units sold as of December 31, 2024.
