Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed 463,000 concurrent players on Steam. This figure places it in the top 10 most-played games on Valve's storefront in 2024, an achievement that's all the more impressive in light of the fact that Monster Hunter Wilds isn't even out yet.
Instead, the aforementioned figure was entirely fueled by the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. Following a brief period of PlayStation Plus exclusivity, the second, cross-platform phase of the playtest reached the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 31, kicking off at 8pm PT.

Hundreds of thousands of PC players flocked to give the demo version of the game a go shortly thereafter. According to data scraped by SteamDB, the Monster Hunter Wilds beta client peaked at 463,798 concurrent players on Valve's storefront around 9:20pm PT on October 31. Not only is this an impressive figure for a mid-week release, but it's large enough that it makes Monster Hunter Wilds the 22nd most popular Steam game of all time and one of the top 10 most-played titles on the platform in 2024....
