Monster Hunter World player count hits 3-year peak amid Monster Hunter Wilds hype Capcom2018\u2019s Best RPG winner Monster Hunter World is in the midst of an explosive boom in players. Hype for Monster Hunter Wilds and a big push from Capcom have seen the most concurrent players in years. Monster Hunter fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the sixth generation of games in Capcom\u2019s second-best-selling franchise. At The Game Awards 2023, their prayers were answered when the final reveal of the show gave them the first look at Monster Hunter Wilds. While the Niantic-developed Monster Hunter Now might be keeping some players occupied until Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 2025 release, Capcom isn\u2019t placing all its eggs in one Basket. They\u2019ve invited players new and old to test their mettle in Monster Hunter World. The #ReturntoWorld campaign has seen a massive boom in active players for Monster Hunter World across multiple platforms. According to SteamDB, it\u2019s hit its highest 24-hour peak since October 2020. #ReturntoWorld is an initiative from Capcom to prepare players for Monster Hunter Wilds. The company has approved some massive discounts for Monster Hunter World with the base game and its Iceborne DLC now selling at their lowest price ever. Along with that, they\u2019ve been hosting community live streams of the game to show a start-to-finish playthrough for those still on the fence. It looks like it\u2019s working too as Monster Hunter World recently hit a 24-hour peak of 97,006. That\u2019s its highest player count in three years. The hardcore fanbase of the Monster Hunter franchise had actually been calling for seasoned players to pick Monster Hunter World back up before Capcom began their campaign. The official seal of approval from the developer has been a welcome sight in the community. Veterans have been getting involved by welcoming new players and sharing advice on how to break through the game\u2019s bulky barrier to entry. On top of that, they\u2019ve been jumping into hunts via Monster Hunter World\u2019s SOS Flare system and helping newcomers in the harder hunts. In the spirit of the event, Veteran players have created new characters for a complete replay so as not to steamroll monsters with their endgame gear. There\u2019s never been a better time to jump into the series. Monster Hunter World was the first title in the franchise to garner mainstream acclaim and players can discover why alongside a host of other beginners trying it out for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
