If you ever questioned the popularity of the Monster Hunter series, know that Monster Hunter Worlds holds the record for Capcom’s most successful game ever created. Still unconvinced? Maybe this will change your mind – Monster Hunter Worlds is currently ranked among Steam’s top ten games with the most concurrent players, outperforming titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3 and Hogwarts Legacy.

The game was widely praised with both critics and players giving favorable feedback upon its release. Given its anticipated popularity, reaching such acclaim within an hour of launching is truly remarkable. Given the positive response from beta testers, it’s clear that Monster Hunter Rise has already earned a spot as a strong contender for Game of the Year.

Monster Hunter Is Absolutely Wild

According to PC Gamer, at 10:05 pm PT on its launch day, Monster Hunter Rise made it to the tenth position on Steam’s all-time list of simultaneous players with 920,464 participants. Yet, there appears to be no signs of slowing down for this titan. In fact, just half an hour after PC Gamer’s report, Monster Hunter Rise climbed up to the eighth position, boasting a staggering 987,482 concurrent players as per Steamdb, even surpassing the seemingly unbeatable Elden Ring for the spot. The game continues to gain momentum without any signs of slowing down.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve seen it before – an eagerly awaited game making its way onto Steam’s top ten list. Take Black Myth: Wukong, for example; it’s currently sitting comfortably in second place on the all-time chart. But what’s absolutely mind-boggling is that I managed to outpace heavyweights like Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3 within just two hours of play. It doesn’t hurt that the PC and console launches are happening simultaneously, giving everyone a level playing field right off the bat.

In his assessment of Monster Hunter Wilds, senior journalist Eric Switzer noted that it strives, and frequently achieves, a realistic and dynamic atmosphere. The novel aspects in this edition are collectively contributing to an enhanced sense of engagement by either introducing more authentic elements or discarding intricate systems that could potentially disrupt the gaming experience. The outcomes span from decent to excellent, but they diminish some of the series’ renowned complexity. In a positive or negative light, Wilds represents the most inviting and accessible Monster Hunter has ever been.
