News - Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Begins With Almost 500,000 Concurrent Players On St
<p dir="ltr">Talk about a strong start for the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. Just hours after releasing, the early test for the action-adventure game hit over 460,000 concurrent players on Steam. Keep in mind those figures don't even account for people on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, either.</p><p dir="ltr">On <a href="https://steamdb.info/app/3065170/charts/">SteamDB</a>, the Monster Hunters Wild beta reached a peak of 463,798 players roughly hours after it began last night at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET on October 31. The <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/monster-hunter-wilds-beta-preloading-is-live-for-some-but-finding-it-is-tricky/1100-6527422/">open beta</a> will run until 6:59 PM PT / 9:59 PM ET this Sunday, November 3. So it's possible the concurrent-player count hits an even higher number as the weekend kicks off. (At the time of publication, around 430,000 people on Steam were checking it out.) Overall, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-keeps-getting-bigger-yet-again-breaks-user-records/1100-6520170/">it's been a year of big numbers on Steam</a>, with user numbers being broken.</p><div data-embed-type="video" data-ref-id="2300-6465405" data-src="/videos/monster-hunter-wilds-5th-trailer-the-black-flame/2300-6465405/" data-width="100%" data-height="100%" data-video-start="0"> <iframe height="100%" width="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen id="-embed-84586025" class="optanon-category-C0004" data-src="/videos/embed/6465405/"></iframe></div><p dir="ltr">Now, this is a beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, and <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/games/monster-hunter/monster-hunter-wilds-beta-pulls-in-nearly-half-a-million-concurrent-steam-players-some-of-which-are-being-turned-into-ps1-style-low-poly-blobs/?utm_content=gamesradar&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com">GamesRadar</a> spotted players running into some comical graphical bugs for the game.
