Pocketpair, the studio behind Palworld, granted its employees a company-wide holiday to celebrate the launch of Monster Hunter Rise. This follows a wave of "mysterious" employee absences reported by Automaton, with staff citing potential illness coinciding with the game's release date. While a generous gesture, Pocketpair assured fans that game updates would remain unaffected.
Monster Hunter Rise's launch has been phenomenal, achieving 1 million concurrent Steam players and securing a spot in Steam's top 10 most-played games ever. Despite this success, the game currently holds a "mixed" user review rating on Steam, prompting Capcom to release PC performance optimization guidelines. Further, Capcom has unveiled plans for Title Update 1, introducing an endgame social hub.
The game's impact is globally significant, especially in Japan. One Japanese indie developer humorously noted a complete absence of Steam sales since Monster Hunter Rise's release. This isn't Pocketpair's first "game day" – a similar initiative was implemented in 2022 for Elden Ring's launch.
To aid players, numerous guides are available, covering hidden game mechanics, weapon type breakdowns, a comprehensive walkthrough, multiplayer instructions, and beta character transfer information. IGN awarded Monster Hunter Rise an 8/10, praising its refined combat but noting a lack of significant challenge.
