As a dedicated Monster Hunter fan who has been following this series since its humble beginnings, I must say that I am utterly astounded by the sheer magnitude of the success of Monster Hunter Wilds beta. With over 463,000 concurrent players on Steam alone and an undoubtedly higher number across all platforms, it’s clear that Capcom has truly tapped into something special here.


As a thrilled enthusiast, I’m ecstatic to share that the Monster Hunter Wilds beta is now up and running! It seems like everyone’s rushing to embark on this exciting journey before its official launch in February. Intriguingly, its popularity has outshone the anticipation for games like Helldivers 2, Black Myth Wukong, and even Black Ops 6!

For enthusiasts of Monster Hunter Wilds, the beta has been eagerly anticipated as it offers a glimpse into the game’s character creation, narrative, and noteworthy hunting scenes. This excitement is reflected in the massive 463,798 concurrent players reported by Steam Db after its release.

The number of players, registered only a day following the beta launch, underscores the incredible anticipation surrounding this release.

It’s important to mention that since the beta version is accessible on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms, it’s quite likely that the user count exceeds the figure displayed solely on Steam.

The Monster Hunter Wilds player count even surpassed the likes of Black Ops 6, to which Microsoft slates as the biggest release in Call of Duty history according to the game’s earnings call, as reported by Insider Gaming.

At the launch of Black Ops 6, Steam reported a peak of approximately 306,460 simultaneous players engaging with the game. However, this number pales in comparison to Monster Hunter Worlds, which boasted over 150,000 more players on Steam.

2024 saw the release of Helldivers 2, one of the year’s most anticipated titles. However, even though it had a strong start with 458,709 concurrent players during its peak, it couldn’t surpass Monster Hunter World’s popularity. This was despite the brief beta period for Black Ops 6 potentially overshadowing Helldivers 2’s launch.

After less than 24 hours of Monster Hunter World access, Capcom provided enticing rewards for participants. They offered a complimentary Open Beta Test Bonus Item Pack and Pendant, bestowing players with a charming Palico, healing potions, Armor Spheres, and numerous additional benefits.
