Monster Hunter Wilds continues its meteoric rise, having now surpassed the 10 million sales mark, setting a new record for Capcom. This achievement marks the highest first-month sales in the company's history, eclipsing all previous games. Notably, Wilds achieved 8 million sales in just three days, making it the fastest-selling title for Capcom ever.
In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several innovative features. The introduction of crossplay and a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC have played significant roles in its widespread appeal. This marks the first time the Monster Hunter series has offered crossplay, allowing a broader audience to enjoy the game together. Capcom also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive gaming experience. The combination of these new features with the core Monster Hunter allure has driven excitement and led to the unprecedented sales figure of over 10 million units in the first month.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 is scheduled for release on April 4, introducing a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for players to interact. Title Update 2, expected in the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus.
