Monster Hunter Wilds continues to dominate the gaming scene, effortlessly surpassing the 10 million sales mark and setting a new record for Capcom. This incredible achievement marks the highest first-month sales for any game in Capcom's history. Previously, Wilds had already claimed the title of the fastest-selling game in Capcom's portfolio by selling 8 million copies in just three days.
In a statement to the press, Capcom highlighted several reasons behind the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds, which even outshines the performance of Monster Hunter World. Key factors include the introduction of crossplay—a first for the series—and a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Unlike Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release, Wilds was available on all platforms from day one, greatly enhancing its appeal.
"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," Capcom explained.Capcom also credited the success to new gameplay mechanics such as the Focus Mode, which enhances immersion, along with seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems. The integration of these new elements with the core appeal of Monster Hunter has sparked significant excitement among gamers, culminating in the 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 players to gather and interact. Title Update 2, teased to include Lagiacrus, is scheduled for the summer.
