Monster Hunter World is enjoying a monstrous resurgence on Steam this week.
During The Game Awards 2023, Capcom announced the next entry in its mega-successful action series with Monster Hunter Wilds. But since that newness isn’t coming until 2025, the company kicked off a “Return To World” campaign to herd players back to 2018’s outing. The campaign included an obvious online hashtag and the steepest discount ever on Steam, slashing the price by a whopping 67%.
Return To World and the Monster Hunter Wilds reveal drummed up enough collective hype to push World past 100,000 concurrent Steam players this week - for the first time since its last update back in 2020, I should add. Steam Database estimates that the game hit a 24-hour peak of 113,000 concurrent players, and it’s regularly dipped over the 100,000 mark throughout this entire week.
Monster Hunter World’s evergreen success speaks to the game’s undeniable quality, the community’s enthusiasm to come back, and the massive savings on PC. The Steam Winter Sale currently has countless discounts on games, from Soulslikes to shooters, but World is still an absolute steal at £8/10 considering an average campaign could take up to 40 hours.
The wait for Monster Hunter Wilds should be more bearable now that World’s online scene has been successfully revived. The upcoming game is set to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 sometime in 2025. Details are light, but Capcom has said more information will be coming next summer. Hopefully, we’ll get another peek at its flying mounts and gorgeous setting.

A return to the zombie-infested world of 28 Days Later has long been rumored, but we finally have something concrete. A sequel is in the works with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, who directed and wrote the 2002 original movie respectively, working on the third film, 28 Years Later.
Nourishing Extract is a material in that can be used to create some of the most helpful consumable items for a hunt. These include Ancient Potions, Mega Demondrugs, and Mega Armorskins. Nourishing Extract drops from only three monsters and can be gained from quest rewards. However, the acquisition rates are fairly low and no guaranteed method exists. Fortunately, Hunters who have progressed far enough will have an alternative means of obtaining these consumables.
Capcom has confirmed that we'll be getting our next update on Monster Hunter Wilds later this Summer, which should make the long wait until 2025 a bit more bearable.
Capcom announced Monster Hunter Wilds during last month's The Game Awards with a release date of 2025. We're still over a year out, but plenty of fans are eager to slay the biggest critters they can find, flocking back to World and boosting its player count to record highs.
Just a few weeks after the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds, Monster Hunter World has been seeing quite a resurgence. The game hit a new concurrent players peak of 138,148 players according to SteamDB. For the sake of reference, this is the highest number of players the game has seen since July 2020, when it saw 144,376 concurrent players.
Well, it turns out I wasn't the only person who had a hankering for returning to Monster Hunter: World for the first time in forever this holiday season.
