Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved a major milestone, surpassing 1 million concurrent players on Steam within just eight hours of launch. This makes it the 8th game ever to reach this number and the first Capcom title to do so.
As the successor to Monster Hunter: World (2018) and the sixth main entry in the franchise, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game saw an explosive start, hitting 800,000 players within the first hour before quickly climbing past the million mark.
This achievement places Monster Hunter Wilds among an elite group of games that have broken the 1 million concurrent player barrier, joining titles like PUBG, Black Myth: Wukong, Palworld, Counter-Strike 2, Lost Ark, Dota 2, and Cyberpunk 2077.
With its strong launch numbers and growing player base, Monster Hunter Wilds is shaping up to be one of the biggest hits of the year.
