Monster Hunter Wilds continues to shatter records, having now surpassed the 10 million sales mark. This achievement marks a new high for developer and publisher Capcom, making it the fastest-selling game in the company's history. Initially, Wilds sold 8 million copies in just three days, setting an impressive pace right from the start.
Capcom attributes the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key factors. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, has allowed a broader range of players to enjoy the game together. Additionally, the simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC—unlike its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, which had a staggered release—has significantly boosted its appeal. Capcom also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, which have enriched the gaming experience. The combination of these new elements with the inherent appeal of Monster Hunter has generated substantial excitement, leading to Capcom's record-breaking first-month sales of over 10 million units.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 is set to launch on April 4, introducing a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, expected in the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus.

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 trajectory of Monster Hunter Wilds, it seems poised to eventually surpass even that impressive figure.
