Monster Hunter Wilds continues to shatter records, having now surpassed the 10 million units sold mark. This milestone represents a new record for Capcom, marking the highest first-month sales in the company's history. Previously, Wilds set a record as the fastest-selling game for Capcom, achieving 8 million sales within just three days of its launch.
In a press release, Capcom attributed the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several strategic moves. The introduction of crossplay, a feature new to the series, along with a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has significantly broadened the game's appeal. Notably, this approach contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release. Capcom also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, enhancing the immersive experience for players. The combination of these innovative features with the core appeal of Monster Hunter has driven excitement and contributed to the record-breaking sales.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive further updates. Title Update 1, launching on April 4, will introduce a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, scheduled for the summer, will bring back Lagiacrus. For more details on these updates, check out IGN's comprehensive coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
