"Monster Hunter: The Wilderness" was very popular in the early stages of its launch, with global sales exceeding 8 million copies in just three days.However, foreign media Thegamer recently reported that less than three months after "Monster Hunter: Wilderness" was released, with a large number of players lost. At the same time, the number of online players decreased by 97% compared to the peak number of players, exceeding Monster Hunter: World.

According to SteamDB statistics, on May 19, the online peak of "Monster Hunter: Wilderness" was only 41,000, while the previous highest value reached 1.384 million, a drop of 97%.In comparison, in more than seven years since the release of "Monster Hunter: World", the online peak (26,000) during the same period has fallen by less than 92% compared to the highest value (334,000).

This number is only available to Steam platforms, and if other platforms are considered, the decline may be even greater.If you only consider the average number of players, the average number of players in Monster Hunter: Wilderness in March was 378,500.In the past 30 days, the average number of players was only 53,842.This is 86% lower than the starting weekly peak.

There are many reasons for this situation, with Monster Hunter: Wilderness being praised at only 63%, the lowest in the series.Many players complain that the "toothpaste-squeezing" update of this game is insincere and has no enthusiasm when playing.Coupled with the repeated cheating phenomenon, many players' enthusiasm for rankings in the race.Many domestic players have also criticized this update method, and even expressed that they have lost interest in continuing to play.

Foreign media Thegamer said that the number of active players in the game declined over time, but it is really worrying that "Monster Hunter: Wilderness"'s steep decline is really worrying.
