The launch of Monster Hunter Wilds is both sweet and salty. The game, which was released on February 28, had performance problems on the PS5 Pro and PC in the first days, but has already achieved an impressive mass success. The biggest proof of this is the data in Steam. So what makes this game special?
Monster Hunter Wilds left the Cyberpunk 2077 and Hand Ring behind! Steam was the sixth best game in the history
The game broke a record by reaching about 1.3 million simultaneous players in the first 12 hours of the exit. This historical success was a first for Capcom, and the company first exceeded one million players limit for the first time. In fact, Capcom Arcade Stadium and Monster Hunter: World left behind its previous achievements.
These figures are very important not only for Capcom’s history, but also in general. Monster Hunter Wilds ranked sixth in the list of most played games in Steam history. On it is PUBG: Battlegrounds (3.2 million), Black Myth Wukong (2,4 million), Palworld (2.1 million), CS 2 (1.8 million) and Lost Ark (1.32 million). However, this last effort of Capcom left the giants such as Dota 2 (1,29 million), Cyberpunk 2077 (1,05 million) and Hand Ring (953.426).

Of course, Steam statistics only reflect the success of the PC market. Data for other platforms where the game is released, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X | S is not yet available. So, if there were no technical problems faced by the players, what could Monster Hunter Wilds accomplish? The hearing of the problems inevitably had a negative impact, but this effect was not enough to undermine the launch of the “monster” launch of the game.
The game showed significant performance problems on the PC. High -system requirements forced many users to use square creation technologies to reach 60 FPS. Digital Foundry reported that the game initially encouraged the use of square creation at the beginning and had slow tissue compression problems with Stuttering. The reasons for these problems are not yet clear, but some suspect that Capcom’s DirectStorage application or Denuvo Anti-Hile software may be responsible.
