Monster Hunter Wilds was destined for greatness on Steam. Barring a server issue, its success was anticipated. However, the speed of its ascent is remarkable.
Currently, the day is ongoing, yet as of 10:05 PM Pacific Time, Wilds is already among Steam's most-played games. It has surpassed peak player numbers of titles like Baldur's Gate 3 (875,343 players), Hogwarts Legacy (879,308), and New World (913,634).
Monster Hunter Wilds currently holds the tenth position for highest peak concurrent players on Steam. The player base continues to grow. Over 920,464 hunters are online at this moment. Many are likely engaging with the character creator, customizing appearances, or encountering their first Chatacabra.
The rise is rapid. At 10:20 PM Pacific, Wilds reached the #8 position. It has surpassed Elden Ring's peak of 953,426 players. This is noteworthy.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the next game in line. Overcoming Cyberpunk 2077 will require approximately another 100,000 players. Given the current trajectory, this is a possibility.
The weekend approaches, and further player growth is expected. The performance of Monster Hunter Wilds will be closely monitored. This launch is significant.
Expect further updates regarding the impressive launch of Monster Hunter Wilds.
