Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Begins With Almost 500,000 Concurrent Players On Steam

As someone who has been a dedicated Monster Hunter fan since the days of the PSP, I must say, the Monster Hunter Wilds beta has left me absolutely astounded! The sheer number of players flocking to this game is reminiscent of a horde of rampaging Anjanaths storming a camp. And let’s not forget, these figures don’t even account for the hunters on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S!


As a thrilled fan, I can’t help but express my excitement over the impressive kick-off of Monster Hunter Wilds’ beta! Within mere hours of its release, this action-packed adventure game drew in an astounding 460,000 players simultaneously on Steam alone. That’s not counting the numerous gamers on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms who joined the fray! It’s clear that the anticipation for this title is reaching new heights.

As a gamer, I jumped into the Monster Hunters Wild beta last night at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET on Halloween, and let me tell you, it was a crowd! The peak player count hit an impressive 463,798 just hours after launch. This open beta is running until this Sunday at 6:59 PM PT / 9:59 PM ET, so I’m eagerly waiting to see if we can break even more records as the weekend rolls in! As of now, around 430,000 fellow gamers are already giving it a try on Steam. This year on Steam has been nothing short of record-breaking when it comes to player numbers!

Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds is in its beta stage, and there have been humorous graphical glitches reported by players. For instance, one Reddit post depicts a monster transforming into what appears to be a character from an original PlayStation’s polygonal design. The official Monster Hunter account on Twitter has acknowledged some problems with the game at this point.

One recent discovery from the beta relates to an accessibility feature. It appears Monster Hunter Wilds will offer arachnophobia assistance, which turns any spider-like creatures in the game into blob-like slime foes.

The game Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on February 28, 2025. In Japan, there’s an extravagantly priced collector’s edition that includes a bike. Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds for PC can help you save up to $20 before its launch, and you can do so through our sister site TopMob ahead of time (instead of paying the usual $70).
