"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales: Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

by Alexander Apr 21,2025

Monster Hunter Wilds continues to set records, soaring past the 10 million units sold mark, which marks a new milestone for Capcom. This achievement represents the highest first-month sales in the company's history, surpassing all previous records. Notably, Wilds reached 8 million sales within just three days of its launch, making it the fastest-selling game Capcom has ever produced.

In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the game's success to several key factors. The introduction of crossplay, enabling players across different platforms to play together, and a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC have significantly broadened the game's appeal. This is a notable shift from Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release.

Capcom further highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems as enhancements that deepen the immersive experience of Monster Hunter Wilds. These innovations, combined with the core Monster Hunter elements, have sparked considerable excitement among gamers, driving the unprecedented sales figures.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update on April 4, introducing a beloved monster and the Grand Hub, a new social space for players. Title Update 2, slated for the summer, will bring back the iconic Lagiacrus.

The success of Monster Hunter Wilds builds on the legacy of Monster Hunter World, which, since its 2018 release, has sold over 21.3 million units, making it Capcom's best-selling game to date. With its current trajectory, Wilds is poised to eventually surpass even these impressive numbers.
