"Monster Hunter Wilds Hits 8 Million Sales in Just 3 Days, Fastest for Capcom"

May 05,2025 Author: Nora

Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved a remarkable feat by selling over eight million units in just three days, setting a new record as the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history. This impressive launch significantly outpaces the initial sales of its predecessors, with Monster Hunter World shipping five million copies in 2018 and Monster Hunter Rise reaching four million in 2021.

The success of Monster Hunter Wilds is not surprising given its phenomenal performance on Steam, where it exceeded one million concurrent players during its opening weekend. This surge propelled it past Cyberpunk 2077, making it the 7th most-played game ever on the platform. Additionally, the game's popularity contributed to Steam reaching a new milestone of 40 million concurrent players for the first time.

In our review of Monster Hunter Wilds, we noted that the game "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." This indicates that while the game is highly enjoyable, it may not offer the same level of difficulty as some fans might expect.

Capcom also shared that the Monster Hunter franchise, which started in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, has now surpassed 108 million units sold worldwide as of December 31, 2024. This milestone underscores the enduring popularity and success of the series over the years.
