In fact, the PC port is already the biggest Japanese game in Steam history, witha whopping peak of 239,779 playersjumping into its beautiful landscapes to lay waste to its menagerie of mammoth creatures. This number absolutely smashes the previous record-holder,Dark Souls 3, which had 129,831 players at its peak.Monster Hunteris pushingdoublethat.
