This remarkable achievement comes as no surprise, given 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 success also contributed to Steam reaching a record-breaking 40 million concurrent players for the first time.

Our Monster Hunter Wilds review praised the game for its improvements, 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 Monster Hunter franchise, launched in 2004 on PlayStation 2, continues its reign of success. Capcom revealed that the franchise has now sold over 108 million units worldwide as of December 31, 2024.
