Monster Hunter Wilds Played by Almost 1 Million Steam Users on Release

As for players’ eyes, however, not everything is sunshine and rainbows, and at the moment, the game’s rating on Steam stands at Mixed, with only 40% of user reviews being positive. As is unfortunately common with many AAA titles these days, Wilds’ main issues center around optimization, performance, bugs, and crashes – classic “launch day plagues” that will likely be patched in future updates but are nonetheless damaging for players’ enjoyment and, by extension, the game’s reputation within the gaming community by being present in the first place.

Moreover, players have also criticized the game for featuring Denuvo, with some even blaming it for the above-mentioned performance and optimization problems. Even if it’s not the cause, the controversial DRM has become a deal-breaker for many in recent years, so it’s not surprising that a sizeable number of negative reviews stem from its inclusion.
