The phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds continues unabated, with the game surpassing the 10 million sold mark and setting a new first-month sales record for developer and publisher Capcom. This milestone outstrips any game in Capcom's history for sales within the first month. Remarkably, Wilds had already become the fastest-selling game in Capcom's portfolio after selling 8 million copies in just three days.
In a statement to the press, Capcom highlighted the reasons behind Monster Hunter Wilds' extraordinary success, noting that it has even surpassed Monster Hunter World. Key factors include the introduction of crossplay and a day-one launch across consoles and PC, contrasting with World's staggered release. "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, Xbox Series X|S, and PC," Capcom stated.
Additionally, Capcom credits the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems for enhancing the immersive gaming experience. "The fusion of numerous new elements with Monster Hunter’s appeal has generated significant excitement, all of which led to the company's first-month sales record of over 10 million units sold."
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. Capcom has also teased Title Update 2 for the summer, featuring the return of Lagiacrus.
