The current winter sale on Steam is running until January 4th at 7 PM. There are some great blockbuster games at bargain prices. Monster Hunter World is also one of the titles that has received a discount. The game has apparently gained more hunters than it has in a long time.
What kind of success is Monster Hunter World currently celebrating?
- The Capcom title was released 5 years ago, including on Steam. At launch, about 334,000 players logged into the game within 24 hours (via SteamDB).
- In December 2023, there was a sudden increase in the number of players. At one point, there were even over 90,000 hunters in 24 hours who logged into the game.
- Meanwhile, the number of players has reached a high that hasn’t been seen in 3 years. Currently, around 138,000 players are logging into the game within a 24-hour period.
Until recently, the title had such high player numbers in July 2020. At that time, there were 144,000 players within 24 hours. On January 1st, Monster Hunter World was the 12th most played title on Steam. An impressive achievement for a 5-year-old game.
A sequel to Monster Hunter World has already been announced with Monster Hunter Wilds. The corresponding trailer can be found on MeinMMO:

What is the reason for the drastic increase? One of the main reasons many players are currently going on monster hunts is the low price. Monster Hunter World is one of the titles available in the winter sale on Steam.
Both the base game and the “Iceborne” expansion are currently cheaper than ever:
- Monster Hunter World is currently priced at 9.89 Euros on Steam. This is a discount of 67%.
- For almost 10 Euros more, you can get the Iceborne expansion, which represents a discount of 60%. The expansion includes a new snowy area, dangerous monsters, and fresh equipment.
The title thrives on players being able to hunt monsters together with other fans. Since so many gamers are currently playing the title, it is easy to find group members for hunting.
If you want to secure Monster Hunter World at a great price, you need to act quickly: The discount ends on January 4th at 7 PM. Then the action title will be offered again at a price of 29.99 Euros.
Another reason for the increase in players could be the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds. This is the sequel to the Capcom title, which received a first trailer at the Game Awards 2023. The announcement may have sparked interest in monster hunting among many players.
Due to the sale and the new trailer, both newcomers and veterans are coming together in Monster Hunter World.
