SteamSpy: Monster Hunter World is at 2 million PC copies sold on Steam
- Thread starter Ryuichi Naruhodo
- Start date
My PC isn't strong enough to run this, but fantastic news! It's amazing how this series went from getting haphazard releases in the west to becoming almost as big of a juggernaut as it is in Japan. Can't wait to sink my claws into GU later this month!
Once Atlus is finally pushed to release anything on PC is when the floodgates will open.
They're using the Rockstar tech where they force PC players to buy it on console then double dip full price on PC, I'd say it worked out splendidly for them, I'd be surprised if the next title launches simultaneously on PC.
It wasnt 1 million preorders. Its more like a "notification" system where you put it on some kind of wishlist and when its released you get a mail and you can choose to buy it or not.

Figured it was in this territory and people were wildly underestimating in their guesses (in the 3 records thread). I think the general rule of thumb is 8X the concurrent users generally gives you a good idea (in launch windows). Even if that's a little high, I still wouldn't be shocked if it was 2 million based on the 300,000 concurrent users.
If we say that it's about 1.5 million Steam, I can imagine the WeGame version being at least 500k. Thats over 2 million copies sold on PC in less than a week, at full price, for a late port. Kind of amazing.
Holy moly. And that's with SteamSpy delay.
I only expected 1 million across all platforms on PC.
Atlus is just one developer who release niche titles.
The floodgate is already in full force, with or without Atlus.
It already is.

The game is nearing 10 million units sold by now.
lets not forget
Sure thing Capcom
not exactly 6 , but MHW is lower score than the other two games
What an insane post

The floodgates have been open for a few years. Atlus is (very) late to the party.
Why would someone even make this image?lets not forget

The 6th highest concurrent users peak in Steam history.
GTA V is up next in the 5th place. It'll be a close battle.

So much for the "b-b-b-but mhw isn't going to sell as well as it would on a handheld!" crowd. Good job capcom. I'll be adding to that as soon as the drm/cpu lock issue is resolved.
That has never been an issue in the Steam version. And is already fixed for China too.
then that makes it 1,000,001-2,000,001
glad the series is doing good numbers all around
315k...and am not even convinved in buying it yet. as are a lot of friends, we are thinking about it. so theres def more ppl. the peak will be tomorrow.
Cool and funny but please add something of value. What do you mean? Reasons, evidence and analysis would help all of us.
Could be at least 4M+ at the end on PC if double dipping goes in full force.
Then it would be 1/3 PC, 2/3 consoles, sounds fine for a game like this.
That's well deserved for MHW. I want more MonHun on consoles/PC and i think we greenlighted that together, thanks everyone.

The floodgates have been open for years. Atlus is just a backwards, stupid company.
Plenty of veterans love the game. Plenty of veterans are disappointed by changes made to the formula. I'm a "veteran" (I only started about 5 years ago with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on 3DS) and while World isn't my favorite Monster Hunter, it's really fucking good and a massive leap forward for the series in many aspects.
It's annoying when people try to speak for all of us for their console warz bullshit.
95% of the shitting on MHW was just console wars, not just series veterans. There are plenty of veterans that love MHW, even if they have issues with some parts of the game. I don't believe actual series fans would ever want one of their favorites to not grow/stagnate. Basically every MHW topic turned into a Media Create thread, because for some reason(console war) posters such as sfortunato tried their damndest to paint some negativity over the game's success.
The Media Create threads aren't very welcoming as it is, I've stopped even reading them after reading and discussing things a lot on the old site.
Yeah it's pretty sad as some of the discussion can be pretty interesting based on the detailed numbers given. I read the data from most threads and just a few posters before moving on every week. I mean, when there was the "waka waka" meme floating around last year from people that are literally excited about a Nintendo Pac-Man on the sales pie chart, it's kinda sad. NPD threads were pretty egregious with rabid Sony fans for a while but there was always better overall discussion to be had.
The trolls ran out of things to complain about or something? Just lol
Why is there an agenda on this site to undermine MHW sales? Seriously, why?
