Monster Hunter Wilds is proving to be a massive hit, matching the impressive post-launch player numbers of Baldur’s Gate 3. Two weeks after release, the game continues to attract over 650,000 concurrent players on Steam each night, a number that rivals Baldur’s Gate 3 during the same post-launch period.
A Record-Breaking Launch
Capcom’s latest entry in the Monster Hunter franchise set a new sales record for the company, thanks in part to a simultaneous, multi-platform release. This approach helped the game reach a wider audience, unlike previous titles that had staggered releases across different platforms.

Long-Term Engagement and Endgame Grind
Unlike live-service games, Monster Hunter Wilds follows a co-op, campaign-driven structure. However, dedicated fans know that hundreds of hours can be spent perfecting armor sets, upgrading weapons, and mastering 14 unique weapon types.
The game offers multiple layers of progression, from mid-level challenges like crafting powerful gear to long-term grinds such as maxing out armor with sphere upgrades. This deep endgame content ensures that players remain engaged for months, if not years.
Upcoming Updates and Expansions
Capcom has already announced two major Title Updates, along with weekly events to keep the game fresh.
- Title Update 1: Introduces a new monster and an increased difficulty level, addressing player feedback about the need for tougher challenges.
- Title Update 2: Features another mystery monster, hinted at in the game’s roadmap with the well-known “unknown monster” symbol.
These updates suggest that Capcom is committed to keeping Monster Hunter Wilds alive with new content and frequent improvements.
A Bright Future for Monster Hunter Wilds
With record-breaking sales, a thriving player base, and a strong roadmap of future content, Monster Hunter Wilds is on track to become one of Capcom’s most successful titles. Its continued popularity proves that the franchise remains a dominant force in the action RPG genre. Fans eagerly await what’s next, as Capcom shows no signs of slowing down.
