Monster Hunter Wilds Hits Over 1 Million Concurrent Players On Launch Day

In Steam, Monster Hunter Wilds has made an extraordinary debut, having surpassed the milestone of over a million simultaneous players at this very moment.

Since Capcom unveiled Monster Hunter Wilds as a 2025 release, it was evident that this game would be among the year’s most significant launches. The trend has only strengthened as the open beta garnered impressive numbers and the reviews turned out to be more favorable than anticipated.

Today signals the grand debut of Monster Hunter Wilds, and it’s already evident how colossal this game is shaping up to be. Earlier reports confirmed that Wilds secured a spot in the Steam Top 10 within hours of release, and now it has achieved its first remarkable milestone.

Monster Hunter Wilds Already Has More Than 1 Million Players On Steam

The number of players for Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam has been gradually increasing all day long. As Genki_JPN recently tweeted, this game just reached a new peak. At the moment I’m writing this, SteamDB confirms that Monster Hunter Wilds currently boasts over one million simultaneous players on Steam, with the current count standing at 1,110,210. Wow!

It’s important to mention that “magical one million” is merely one platform for Monster Hunter Rise. When you take into account both Xbox and PlayStation versions as well, it’s likely to reach even greater heights.

It’s not too unexpected given the success of Monster Hunter World and Rise for Capcom, but this achievement is still a significant moment. This marks the first Capcom game to ever have one million concurrent players on Steam, and it’s only the eighth game overall to reach that milestone.

Given that we’re still in the middle of the launch day (in the UK specifically), it appears quite plausible that the number will increase as the day progresses. While reaching two million isn’t a certainty, it does appear to be more probable given these circumstances.
