Overview of Recent Wishlist Rankings on Steam
- Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed Hollow Knight: Silksong to become the most-wishlisted game on Steam.
- Hollow Knight: Silksong now holds the third spot, following Valve’s Deadlock.
- The anticipated launch of Monster Hunter Wilds in February plays a crucial role in its wishlist surge.
Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds has recently taken the crown as the most-wishlisted title on Steam, displacing Hollow Knight: Silksong, which now sits in the third position. This shift is reflective of growing anticipation within the Monster Hunter community as the game approaches its release next month.
Originally announced in February 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was expected to see numerous updates following the success of the first Hollow Knight game. However, almost six years have passed with limited information provided by Team Cherry. On January 18, the studio’s marketing lead, Matthew Griffin, assured fans that Hollow Knight: Silksong remains in development, stating it “will release” eventually. Although specific details were scarce, this announcement renewed hope for further updates in 2025—an eagerly anticipated year in gaming.

As the launch date of February 28 approaches, Monster Hunter Wilds has not only surged to the top of Steam’s wishlist but also secured a place among the top ten best-selling games globally. This trend indicates a robust interest among gamers leading up to its release. Meanwhile, while Hollow Knight: Silksong has slipped to third place, it remains a significant player in wishlist numbers, outpacing other titles including FromSoftware’s Elden Ring: Nightreign.

The latest standings for the top five most-wishlisted games on Steam are as follows:
- Monster Hunter Wilds
