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

Author: Emery Jun 24,2025

The momentum behind *Monster Hunter Wilds* continues to build, with the game recently surpassing 10 million units sold—an unprecedented achievement for Capcom, both as a developer and publisher. This impressive milestone marks the highest first-month sales in the company's history, cementing *Monster Hunter Wilds* as not only the fastest-selling title to date but also a landmark release for the franchise.

Just days after its launch, *Monster Hunter Wilds* shattered previous records by selling 8 million copies within its first three days—setting the stage for what would become a historic month of success. In a recent statement, Capcom attributed this overwhelming reception to several key innovations introduced in *Wilds*, particularly when compared to its predecessor, *Monster Hunter World*.

Play

One major factor in the game’s global appeal is the inclusion of crossplay—a series first—as well as a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. This accessibility allowed players to connect seamlessly regardless of their preferred system, significantly expanding the player base from day one. As Capcom noted:

"The title provides an environment where a wider range of players can enjoy the game together with the introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, and a simultaneous release on PlayStation 5 system, Xbox Series X|S, and PC."

Additionally, new gameplay mechanics such as Focus Mode and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems have elevated the overall immersion. By blending these fresh elements with the classic Monster Hunter charm, Capcom has created a more engaging and dynamic experience that clearly resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Looking ahead, *Monster Hunter Wilds* will receive Title Update 1 on April 4, introducing a beloved monster fan favorite and the Grand Hub—a new central hub where players can interact and team up. Later this summer, Title Update 2 will bring the electrifying Lagiacrus into the wilds, further expanding the game’s content.

While *Monster Hunter World* once redefined the franchise in the West and remains Capcom’s best-selling game at 21.3 million units sold, it now appears inevitable that *Monster Hunter Wilds* will eventually surpass even that figure over time.
