Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved phenomenal success, surpassing eight million units sold within just three days of its launch. This makes it the fastest-selling Capcom game ever, a remarkable feat.
Capcom reported these impressive sales figures, highlighting that Monster Hunter Wilds significantly outperformed its predecessors. Monster Hunter World (2018) shipped five million copies, while Monster Hunter Rise (2021) reached four million.
This explosive success isn't entirely unexpected. Monster Hunter Wilds soared past one million concurrent Steam players during its opening weekend, even surpassing Cyberpunk 2077 to become the seventh most-played game on the platform. This surge also propelled Steam to a record-breaking 40 million concurrent players for the first time.
Our Monster Hunter Wilds review praised the game's improvements, stating that it "continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge."
The Monster Hunter franchise, which debuted in 2004 on PlayStation 2, continues to dominate. Capcom revealed that the series has now surpassed 108 million units sold worldwide as of December 31, 2024.
