Talk about a strong start for the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. Just hours after releasing, the early test for the action-adventure game hit over 460,000 concurrent players on Steam. Keep in mind those figures don't even account for people on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, either.On SteamDB, the Monster Hunters Wild beta reached a peak of 463,798 players roughly hours after it began last night at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET on October 31. The open beta will run until 6:59 PM PT / 9:59 PM ET this Sunday, November 3. So it's possible the concurrent-player count hits an even higher number as the weekend kicks off. (At the time of publication, around 430,000 people on Steam were checking it out.) Overall, it's been a year of big numbers on Steam, with user numbers being broken. Now, this is a beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, and GamesRadar spotted players running into some comical graphical bugs for the game. For example, one Reddit post shows a monster turning into what looks like an original PlayStation polygonal creature. The official Monster Hunter account on X stated it's aware of some issues with the game so far.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
