With numerous game titles set to be released in 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds is undoubtedly the masterpiece that gamers on Steam are eagerly anticipating.
Currently topping the charts in the list of most anticipated games on Steam, Monster Hunter Wilds continues to captivate even the most discerning players, despite not having been released yet. This anticipation primarily stems from the demo version set to launch in late 2024, which has already achieved remarkable success even in its testing phase.
Despite some concerns regarding performance issues, the overall feedback for Monster Hunter Wilds has been overwhelmingly positive compared to its peer games.
Players’ excitement for this blockbuster has even translated into revenue generation. Even though it hasn’t been released yet and the pre-purchase price is quite steep, nearing 1.4 million VND, as of now, Monster Hunter Wilds ranks as the third-best-selling game on Steam, only behind two other highly popular titles: Path of Exile 2 and Grand Theft Auto V.
In contrast to the two titles mentioned above, Monster Hunter Wilds has yet to be released, but the expectations for this game remain exceptionally high. Regardless of the circumstances, having a title that ranks in the top 3 best-selling products on Steam two months prior to launch is quite rare. This indicates that upon release, Monster Hunter Wilds has the potential to break multiple records on Steam, and we might witness an extraordinary phenomenon this year.
Although it has been heavily marketed, gamers still have many concerns, particularly regarding performance issues. For instance, even with the use of the top-tier RTX 4090 graphics card, some games are struggling to run demo versions at 4K 60 FPS. Therefore, looking ahead to 2024, Dragon’s Dogma 2—another anticipated blockbuster—despite extensive promotions, has not achieved the expected success primarily due to technical issues. Monster Hunter Wilds needs to avoid falling into this trap.
