With almost 1.2 million concurrent players on Steam at release, it was clear that PC players helped Capcoms game become the companys most successful launch of all time. However, thats only half of the story.Monster Hunter Wilds dominates on PCAccording to industry analyst firm Circana, Monster Hunter Wilds on PC was the best-selling game of February 2025 across all platforms. The massive release of the latest game in Capcoms long-running series was more than double that of its predecessor: Monster Hunter Rise.More interesting is the fact that Capcoms latest launch was a massive hit with PC players more so than console players. Despite the games performance issues and its near-unplayable state on Steam Deck, Steam still accounted for more than half of the games sales.This trend continued with other major hits in February including Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Civilization 7. While console releases are still a major part of developers plans, its clear that PC is rising to heights the platform hasnt seen in a long, long time.Of course, the rapid rise of PC market share in the last decade isnt that surprising. With major console exclusives like Spider-Man 2 and Halo Infinite coming to PC months after or even on day one, PC is the place where nearly every game will eventually be. While the price of entry is higher, the decades of titles available to players is also never-ending.Nevertheless, console owners are still in for their own particular treats. While publisher Take-Two admits that PC releases are more important than ever, GTA 6 will not be releasing on the platform until sometime after the games console launch. Considering how long it took Rockstar to bring PS5 and Xbox Series features to PC, thats not surprising at all.Outside of Nintendo, its clear that the console market is failing to hold onto the dominance that has moulded the games industry since, well, forever. With PC almost firmly in the number one slot, theres a brand-new industry on the way.Monster Hunter WildsPlatform(s):PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Action RPGSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
