Monster Hunter Wilds continues to break records with its phenomenal success, having now surpassed 10 million units sold. This achievement marks a historic first-month sales record for Capcom, outpacing any other game in the company's catalog. Previously, Wilds had already set a benchmark by selling 8 million copies in just three days, making it the fastest-selling title in Capcom's history.
In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the game's success to several innovative features. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the Monster Hunter series, along with a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has significantly broadened its appeal. This approach contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which saw a staggered release with a six-month delay for the PC version.
Capcom highlighted that the seamless integration of crossplay and the day-one availability across platforms have created a more inclusive environment for players. "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," the company stated.
Further enhancing the game's allure, Capcom introduced the new Focus Mode mechanic and implemented seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems. These additions have enriched the gaming experience, making it more immersive. The fusion of these innovative elements with the core appeal of Monster Hunter has fueled significant excitement, contributing to the record-breaking first-month sales of over 10 million units.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive continuous updates. Title Update 1, scheduled for April 4, will introduce a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement designed for player interaction. Title Update 2, slated for the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus.

The Monster Hunter series gained significant traction in the West with the launch of Monster Hunter World in 2018, which remains Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million copies sold. Given the momentum of Wilds, it's poised to eventually surpass even this impressive figure.
