1,384,608: The Monster Hunter Wilds Peak Player Count

SteamDB recorded the all-time peak of 1,384,608 concurrent players on March 1, 2025, one day after release.

GameSpot reported on March 3, 2025 that four games had a higher Steam peak at the time: PUBG, Black Myth: Wukong, Palworld and Counter-Strike 2. The full list sits in these Steam single-game peak rankings.

SteamCharts publishes a lower March 2025 monthly peak of 1,179,869. The two trackers report different peaks for the same month.

Source: SteamDB (all-time peak), March 1, 2025; SteamCharts (monthly concurrent players), March to August 2025

Average players fell from 318,010.88 in March 2025 to 13,497.29 in June 2025. No month since has topped the April 2025 peak of 548,047.

Monster Hunter Wilds Sales Reached 11.8 Million Units by June 2026

Capcom lists Monster Hunter Wilds at 11.80 million units as of June 30, 2026. The count includes full-game downloads on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Quarterly editions put the total at 10.1 million on March 31, 2025, 11.0 million on December 31, 2025 and 11.4 million on March 31, 2026.

Units count copies sold, not people playing. Sales and the Steam concurrent count measure different things.

World, which never added crossplay between PC and consoles, leads the series at 22.40 million.

Rise sits second at 19.30 million despite platform-locked multiplayer. Wilds ranks 11th on Capcom’s full list, and Capcom’s revenue and franchise data puts those totals in company context.

Steam owner estimates

SteamDB lists three modeled Steam owner estimates: about 5.69 million from Gamalytic, 6.77 million from PlayTracker and 6.80 million from VG Insights.

These model Steam accounts that own the game. They are neither Capcom sales nor active players.

Is the Monster Hunter Wilds Player Count Holding Up Before Ascendance?

SteamCharts logs a 48.59% gain for the 30 days to September 23, 2026 over August. That 21,008.51 average sits above every completed month from April to August 2026.

Reviews stay split. SteamDB counts 163,759 positive and 167,592 negative Steam reviews, rated Mixed.

Source: SteamDB (Steam user reviews), September 23, 2026; SteamCharts, April 2026 to September 23, 2026

Two releases are scheduled. Gematsu reports a Nintendo Switch 2 version for December 4, 2026, and the PlayStation Blog lists the paid Ascendance expansion for 2027.

Ascendance adds the Skybound Eyrie locale and a new Elder Dragon, Gundoraja. Neither release is out, so neither shows up in current player data.
