Monster Hunter World has been doing great on the market since its release last year, and it seems like it's doing even better than anticipated on PC.

Speaking with PCGamesInsider.biz, Capcom's EMEA and UK marketing director Antoine Molant confirmed that PC is the second biggest platform for Monster Hunter World.

Without getting into details, it’s the second biggest one for Monster Hunter World amongst all platforms, therefore incredibly important.

Antoine Molant also talked about how the PC version boosted the game's overall performance and how the late release actually helped.

It helped a lot boosting the overall performance

While we always try to treat our various audiences the same way, the Monster Hunter World console versions were the lead platforms, and PC had to be released at a later date. This actually helped as the PC version has had its own window for promotion, PR, marketing. Some countries like Germany or Russia also performed extremely well on the PC front. All of this really increased our success in Europe

Monster Hunter World is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. An expansion called Iceborne will be released later this year on all formats.
