Monster Hunter Wilds reaches almost 1 million players on Steam for the release, but many players are angry: “Absolutely horrible performance”

earthpressnews

Monster Hunter Wilds has finally been released and the number of players shoots up directly on Steam. But it looks very different in the reviews of the players. Instead of great euphoria, there are many complaints about technology.

What about Steam currently for Monster Hunter Wilds? Monster Hunter Wilds starts pretty well on Steam. According to SteamdB, the game currently has almost 970,000 players online at the same time, the peak was 987,482 (as of 28.02.2025, 08:42). It can be assumed that the game will also crack the million mark.

But despite the high number of players, none of the euphoria is noticed in the first Steam reviews. Of 2,024 reviews, only 40 % are currently positive (as of 28.02.2025, 08:42) The game is up to be balanced. That is probably due to the performance.

Absolutely horrible performance

What is criticized? The biggest criticism of the game, when you look at the user reviews on Steam, is above all the performance on the PC. Players report crashes, bugs and low FPS. Many are surprised because the beta is said to have worked with them.

  • The user Meadow writes (via Steam): Absolutely horrible performance for the way the game looks like. It runs even worse than in the beta.
  • HSZHU describes his first minutes (via Steam): 20 minutes of play time, but only to create a crash report.
  • Internet pirit (via Steam) is more criticizing the content of the game: unless you played former Monster Hunter titles and be hungry for content. Waits with the purchase of wilds until at least the expansion [DLC] is published.

    • Most complaints relate to technology and performance, but some criticize the character vouchers that you have to buy with real money to change your own character (there is one free of charge). A user also criticizes the level of difficulty of the game.

    Have you been able to play on Steam and what about the performance of Monster Hunter Wilds? Like to write it in the comments. Even before the game was released, discussions about the difficulty: players believe that Monster Hunter Wilds is too easy – they are the problem themselves
