Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed 1,3 million concurrent players on Steam, but is far from universal acclaim

It's already time for an initial assessment of Capcom's game. Just over 24 hours after its launch, there's plenty to be said about it!

First, the title appears to be a huge commercial success. The Steam version managed to gather up to 1.307 million players simultaneously. Monster Hunter Wilds also tops the sales charts on Valve's platform.

However, feedback from players is more mixed. At the time of writing, Steam reviews are mixed, with only 53% of the more than 27,000 opinions published being positive due to numerous bugs and other optimization issues on PC.
