Monster Hunter Wilds continues to break records, having now surpassed the 10 million sales mark. This achievement sets a new first-month sales record for Capcom, outpacing any other game in the company's history. Remarkably, Wilds sold 8 million copies within just three days of its release, making it the fastest-selling game Capcom has ever produced.
In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key factors. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, along with a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has significantly broadened the game's appeal. This approach contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release. Capcom also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive experience. The combination of these new features with the core Monster Hunter gameplay has generated substantial excitement, leading to the record-breaking sales.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update on April 4, introducing a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, scheduled for the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus. For more details on these updates, check out IGN's comprehensive coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
The Monster Hunter series made a significant impact in the West with the 2018 release of Monster Hunter World, which remains Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million units sold. Given the current trajectory, it's likely that Monster Hunter Wilds will eventually surpass this figure.
