What's really weird is that one of the unreleased monsters is a subspecies of an elder, so unless it's an entire overhaul, the lack of presence is utterly baffling.

According to SteamSpy , Monster Hunter world is now over 5M on Steam

The public data isn't terribly useful, but the algorithm used to generate data for Patreon supporters is quite accurate, apparently.
Edit: Supporter data says 5.28m.

If it's remotely accurate, I think this would put it as the most successful Japanese game on Steam by a considerable margin and it would likely mean that it's well on its way of becoming the best-selling version of the game. I always knew it'd be big on PC, but I don't I could have ever imagined this level of success.
I don't want to discount MHW's sales at all, but is SteamSpy's data even trustworthy anymore?
The game barely runs playable on base PS4/XB1.
Can't imagine the sacrifices Capcom would have to make to get it running on Switch.

Here's a thought, the only monster that was really made after release might be Behemoth, Luna, Kulve, Jho not Kirin and Alatreon got leaked months before release, so work on all of them started already before release. They're just being spaced to fill a whole year of post release support, MH team pretty much said so themselves.
Monsters do take a longer time to make now obviously, but not a whole year for three monsters and two clones.

I mean it had like the 6th or 7th highest concurrent peak ever in the history of Steam. Basically only Valve games, PUBG, GTAV and Fallout 4 had more successful launches.
So I don't get why people have a hard time believing 5 million. It will probably reach 10 million lifetime once it gets cheaper in the coming years.

Far as I know its never been on sale either, so (at least going by UK pricing) that's ÂŁ250 million in revenue.
Considering Resident Evil 7 sold 5.4 million units across 3 platforms, yeah I'd say it's pretty good lol.
Yes, 5M on PC is a fantastic number. For reference, several MH games did about 4M to 5M lifetime on 3DS.
Well, hopefully that means the next Monster Hunter is on PC as well. I'll be all over that. I'm certainly not he most dedicated MH player (I stopped playing after killing Xeno'Jiiva), but I am hooked.
If these figures are accurate, they'd be really stupid not to release future MH titles on PC. There hasn't even been a big sale on MHW since it's been on Steam which usually results in another influx of sales so this number will continue to increase.
Hopefully the next update will fix the texture issue and that's almost every main issue with the game fixed too which will help with Steam reviews.
It would be nice if they would actually speed up the content releases like they said they would. I love the game but Capcom's handling of this version has been pretty bad. Especially for a game that sold so many copies so fast.
Well since you asked, here you go: https://steamcommunity.com/games/582010/announcements/detail/1689306165586025889
- Fixed an issue where certain textures in cutscenes or character creation were not optimized.
I mean that's not even worth an apparantly as far as extrapolation is concerned. You'd need a lot more at several different sales ranges to even get that far.
Well yeah that's what I was relating to but the notes say "cutscenes or character creation" so it's not saying in-game textures will be fixed which is the bigger issue. Hopefully the fix for one will fix them all but it's strange for them to say these cases and not the important one which is in-game.
"Apparently" within this context merely means "as far as one can tell" and carries an implication that the reality may be different. I agree with your underlying point that SteamSpy more or less keeping pace with SCUM isn't a lot to go on, which is why I said "apparently", but that it's doing so is evidence the algorithm can, to at least some extent, handle titles that sell a high volume of units in a relatively short amount of time.

At the rate it's been going, Behemoth won't be hitting the PC version until next year. Lunastra is questionable, too, though I wouldn't be shocked if they tied her to the rollout of the winter festival. And that's ignoring the likelihood of the console versions getting one more monster in 2018. Their best foot hasn't been put forth, to put it mildly.

For people wondering about the geographical split , Steamspy Premium stopped splitting geographically by sales , but it is however splitting them by Active users over time
China is the Top blue line , now at 46.49%
Other countries not shown in graph is purple
USA is Yellow
Germany is green
Followed by ( Without order ) Korea , Canada , France , Japan , Brazil , Australia

5 million is ridiculous. I'd guess the real figure is probably half of that at most, which would still make it a huge success.
I am still playing. Sucks that the online is region locked but there are no shortage of players and the region settings seems to cover a large area. I understand why they did it, no one wants to fight stop motion paper monsters but sill I wish we were given the choice.
So am I XD. At this rate I can wait for World 2 and never run out of players to match with.
So if the game is has already sold over 5 million copies on Steam without any major discounts (it already got a 20% off discount on Steam but other places already had that before the game even released, like GMG and Voidu) so does that mean that there is a possibility that the PC version of MHW may acgactua end up out selling the PS4 version and thus become the best selling version of MHW?
I myself have had the game since launch but stoppes playing about 3 weeks in, I think I will try to get back into the game though.
I think back when the game had sold over 3 million units that Capcom themselves were supprised with how well the game has sold (this was around the time Capcom Vancouver shut down).
I think that for the last 3 months MHW has never dropped below the top 25 best selling games globally on Steam, which to be is very very impressive and on top of that there were a lot of times when it was always in the top ten as well

Well, it's been proven before that Seamspy number in August aligned well with Capcom's official report.
It might be off by a few hundreds of thousands, but certainly not that way off.
Awesome
Hopefully this leads to more MH on PC
Lol no they haven't
They haven't become a dumpster fire yet

It may very well be the case by the end of the year. I don't think anyone saw that coming, but the thirst for the series to be on PC has been real for years.
They explicitly said MHW isn't coming to Switch but that they might work on games specifically made for the platform.
What ultimately ends up happening is up in the stars but this is the current stance that Capcom is taking.
I hope that even if a MH tailored for Switch is made, he would at least go on PC too (and everywhere else if possible), would be stupid to sit on more sales
