  • The game surpasses Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 to become the sixth-highest concurrent player count holder on Steam.
  • Despite the high number of players, Monster Hunter Wilds’ servers remain stable, and the game is expected to attract even more players over the weekend.

In just under 24 hours after its debut, Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rampage set a new record for the most simultaneous players ever for any Capcom game launched on Steam. Impressively, it also broke into the top 10 list of games with the highest number of concurrent players in Steam’s history.

Monster Hunter Wilds Manages To Quadruple Monster Hunter World’s Steam Concurrent High

On SteamDB, the game reached a peak of 1,307,976 players within a day. This figure is astounding, and it becomes even more remarkable when you consider that it doesn’t account for players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, as those platforms were not included in this data. Given the game’s popularity in Japan, where console gaming dominates, it’s likely that comparable (or greater) numbers are being achieved on these systems.

In simpler terms, Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed popular games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 in the number of simultaneous players, placing it as the sixth most played game at a given time.

It’s good news that the game’s servers are managing well so far, and there hasn’t been a large number of complaints about server issues affecting gamers.

You might notice the figure going up further as we approach the weekend, since that’s when many individuals tend to have additional leisure time for gaming.

For reference, Monster Hunter World had a Steam concurrent-player peak of 334,684.

In fact, some gaming companies like Pocketpair (Palworld) have made February 28 an official, gaming-focused day off! No need to fake sickness for this one, folks.
