Monster Hunter World sets 3 records on PC/Steam
- Thread starter Rodjer
- Start date
Confirmed for Spring 2019 across all platforms. MHW was confirmed up front to be late on PC. It was a rare occurrence for Capcom
I honestly want Persona 4 Golden and Catherine Full Body more. But P5 would rake in a lot more for SEGA/Atlus
I have 350 hours on PS4, still copped the PC release for the massively decreased loading times + higher performance.
Just woke up and started playing, that's a +1 from me.
Now at ~240k concurrent users. Just surpassed No Man's Sky and might surpass Payday 2 soon at number 6 highest in Steam history. Furthermore, I believe this won't be the real peak, it'll be on the first weekend tomorrow.

As someone who has been a fan since the first game on PS2, it's incredible to see how much this franchise has grown
Yakuza 0 did well on PC too, IIRC. Certainly well enough to justify bringing over the rest.
Multiplayer is a big reason why MHW is taking off like a rocket.
Same, instead off buying and replaying im just getting Monster Hunter Generations.
That game will need some help though i think so im supporting in my own way.
If this doesn't put ever Japanese developer into high gear with good day 1 PC ports than I don't know what will. Money on the fucking table.
I wonder how many double dipped though [ThinkingEmoji]
Yakuza ain't MonHun. That being said it did pretty well regardless. Needs bug fixes like hell though.
excluding relics stuff, yakuza 0 was sega's best launch performance to day. we will be getting all future yakuza games.
It only peaked at 9k concurrent players. That's not that bad, just low for a game of that caliber (I mean in quality, not popularity).
The biggest issue was that SEGA didn't bother to market it. They just announced that it's coming and that's it. Now compare it to how Capcom market MH World in the last couple months.
GOtta love when Era throws acronyms out of context that could mean a lot of things.
This is a thread about Monster Hunter World so I can safely assume MHW stands for that but what the kell is KCD!?

oh i didnt know we started considering concurrent players as the ultimate measure of actual sales
No one say that lol.
It's just one metric that we can actually use nowadays as Steamspy is down. Concurrent users do reflect sales one way or another.
It will be interesting to see the reaction from PC only gamers to the multiplayer element of the game.
Those numbers seem awfully low.
You're telling me Call of Duty never had more than 161,000 concurrent players on PC?
Or am I reading that wrong?
It used to be. It's fallen a lot lately, but 2005-2010 was pretty strong.
Why support Yakuza if you can support good games like MH instead
I am completely blown away by Monster Hunter World's success. It is surreal to me that this game has taken off the way it has, but I could not be happier. I just hope future games come to PC earlier than this did.
Yakuza 0 is a huge success on PC. I am entirely certain SEGA is completely over the moon with it's sales. Unless there are some exclusivity shenanigans or it has another publisher (like Halo Wars 2, Bayonetta 2), all of SEGA's major releases going forward should come to PC. I mean we even got a modern Shining game. I would bet the farm on stuff like the new Sakura Taisen coming to PC when it is localized too!
Now they just need to push Atlus... I strongly believe Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games would be huge hits on Steam.

By the time Call of Duty required Steam, it had already burnt all its brand-cache on PC.
"Not Balanced For Lean" and "Mouse and Keyboard Support"* basically amputated the IP's legs on PC.
Those were the exact words given by Infinity Ward PR when asked what special features MW2 PC would have.
Expected this. Coop game, progression, semi open world, the game is a recipe for good sales.
Looking at the Steam chart for top ccu still reminds me how weird it is that Civ 6 charted.

Yakuza 0 was never going to set the market on fire like MHW did.
Even on PS4 in West, Yakuza 0 sold well for what it is. MHW on the other hand is the best selling Capcom game.
Yeah, I know that. I just kinda expected something like 15k-20k peak players at launch.
Yakuza 0 is only comparable to niche JRPGs like Tales of Berseria (8k) and Ni No Kuni 2 (10K). Even though it's a much better game than those.
That's cute.
Doubt that it's going to happen
Late ports will continue to happen. FFXV, RDR2, maybe KH3. Better late than never though.
9K peak concurrent players is a great result for a game like Yakuza , And I heard that the port was fine and running well so i assume it will have good legs
Well, I love to be that one when the company in question focus more on handhelds than consoles in first place and in consoles, which I doubt it'll change with their titles.
continues to be served
That's another great thing about this game.
