Posted on a thread on ResetEra by user dex3108, MHR has taken up a huge amount of players on Steam, with over 109,000 players playing the game and peaking actively with every update on the chart. This is in stark contrast to Capcom’s other big release last year in Resident Evil Village, which only has over a 1,500 players and peaked at 106,000 plus users in the last six months. Monster Hunter World still rules the charts with an all-time peak of 334,000 plus users in the past 4 years. However, it only has a concurrent player count of over 26,500 players right now.
