Monster Hunter Wilds' performance issues aren't new to the series but it could have wide-reaching consequences in the future for PC fans.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the fastest-selling game to reach 8 million units, setting a record in just 3 days. The game is the best-selling of 2025 and Steam sales account for more than half the total dollar sales.

I remember a time when the only place I saw Monster Hunter games was the 3DS eShop. Those days are well and truly over, because the eShop is fully defunct and Monster Hunter Wilds is effortlessly pulling in over 400,000 players a day on Steam alone, according to Steam Charts and SteamDB.
