Monster Hunter Stories 3 has had the best debut for the series on PC, with almost exactly 20,000 more players at its peak than the previous entry in the RPG spinoff.
While a mainline Monster Hunter release is perhaps the biggest deal when it comes to Capcom's titles, its RPG spinoffs have been quietly leveling up with every release. The original Monster Hunter Stories launched on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2016 and was a fun, novel RPG that felt like a solid Pokemon homage, but not something too intense on the RPG front. Its sequel Monster Hunter Stories 2 felt like a solid, if a bit uneven step up, and from the looks of our Monster Hunter Stories 3 review, the series finally hitting its potential, and the numbers seem to back that up.
