Capcom's Former Switch Exclusive Monster Hunter Rise Is Off To A Great Start On Steam

The Switch exclusive Monster Hunter Rise was this week ported across to the PC, and if you are curious to know how it's performing - we've got some data to share.

According to Steam's global stats, Rise is currently in the top 10 most played games on the platform - with a 90,000+ peak at the time of writing. That's quite an impressive start for this kind of third-party release.

As noted in the tweet below, it should be more than enough to push overall sales to new heights.

Earlier this week we did a round up of the Monster Hunter Rise PC reviews, and one common complaint was that the game didn't support cross-play or cross-save.

Unfortunately, Capcom has already released a statement about this, and apparently, it's unable to implement this feature. We imagine even more people would be playing the PC release if cross-platform play was supported.

"We’ve heard your requests for Cross-Save / Cross-Play for #MHRise & #Sunbreak, but unfortunately, after looking into it throughout the development process, we found we are unable to implement it this time. As always, we appreciate your continued feedback and support."
