UPDATE 12pm UK: Monster Hunter Wilds has broken through the one million concurrent players milestone on Steam.
The remarkable achievement comes hours after the game hit a 987,482 player peak overnight - though numbers had tailed off slightly since then.
It's a massive launch for Monster Hunter Wilds, and an impressive coup for publisher Capcom - which has never had a game get close to a million concurrents on Steam previously. Indeed, Monster Hunter Wilds is one of only a handful of games to ever hit the total on Valve's platform. How much bigger will Monster Hunter Wilds' playercount get?
While Capcom celebrates, however, there's still work to be done. Monster Hunter Wilds' Steam ranking sits at Mixed, after numerous complaints of technical issues.
Monster Hunter Wilds has reached over 1 million concurrent players on Steam! CRAZY!!!
