Monster Hunter Wilds smashes player records and easily dwarfs its predecessors
Monster Hunter Wilds is finally out and is already an all-timer when it comes to how many people it has drawn in for the hunt. To put things into perspective, Monster Hunter Wilds was already a massive hit merely 35 minutes after release. At that time, Wilds was already twice bigger in terms of concurrent players than Monster Hunter World had ever been, which had its all-time peak at 334 thousand concurrent players. Monster Hunter Rise, the title that succeeded World, was also a hugely successful title, but it topped at a lower 231 thousand concurrent players. https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1895347874805727476 But that was roughly 10 hours prior to the writing of this piece, so basically old news when it comes to an event of such magnitude in the gaming world. Right now, Monster Hunter Wilds is clocking in at over 1.2 million players, after an all-time peak of over 1.3 million. Screenshot by Destructoid Those are awe-inspiring numbers, especially considering that it also requires a really powerful PC to run. In fact, that seems to be the game's only problem right now, as many are complaining about serious performance issues, even on very high-end machines. So, if doubts regarding how well your PC will run Wilds are the only thing holding you back from hitting buy, then you should probably wait a little longer till Capcom fixes these issues — it's not as if the game is in dire need of your money to warrant a sequel. That said, it is a fantastic title well worth looking at. On top of the PC, Monster Hunter Wilds also released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, where we can right now only assume it's already doing pretty fantastic numbers.
