Steam Hits 40M Concurrent Users Playing Monster Hunter Wilds

Apr 04,2025 Author: Emily

Steam, the leading digital game distributor for PC gamers, has shattered its own concurrent user record, reaching an unprecedented peak of over 40 million players. This milestone was achieved over a weekend that coincided with the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds on February 28, 2025, with Steam registering 40,270,997 simultaneous users, surpassing the previous record of 39.9 million set in February 2025.

According to SteamDB, Steam's concurrent user record, often seen as a barometer of Valve's platform success, has been broken nearly every month since May 2024. The concurrent peak has surged from 35.5 million to 40.2 million in just over six months. Notably, this figure includes idle players—those with Steam open but not actively using it. However, the number of users actively engaged in games has also set a new record, increasing from 12.5 million to 12.8 million.

Steam experienced significant player peaks throughout 2024, breaking its record twice in March and again in July. The latest peak is largely attributed to the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, which saw a 24-hour peak of 1.38 million concurrent users. Other popular titles like Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, Dota 2, and Marvel Rivals also achieved impressive 24-hour peaks with 1.7 million, 819,541, 657,780, and 268,283 users, respectively.

Despite its popularity, Monster Hunter Wilds has received a 'mixed' user review rating on Steam, prompting Capcom to release official guidance addressing PC performance issues. Additionally, Capcom has revealed preliminary details for Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1, which will introduce an endgame social hub for players.

IGN's review of Monster Hunter Wilds awarded it an 8/10, stating, "Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge."
