"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

Monster Hunter Wilds continues its meteoric rise, recently surpassing 10 million units sold worldwide. This impressive milestone marks the highest first-month sales in Capcom’s history — a record previously unclaimed by any of the publisher’s titles.

Even before reaching this figure, Monster Hunter Wilds had already cemented itself as Capcom’s fastest-selling game ever, hitting 8 million sales within just three days of release. The momentum has not waned, and industry analysts expect long-term sales to potentially outpace even Monster Hunter World, which currently holds the title of Capcom’s best-selling game at 21.3 million copies sold.

In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the overwhelming success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key innovations that set it apart from previous entries in the franchise. Chief among them is the introduction of crossplay functionality — a series first — allowing players on different platforms to team up seamlessly. Additionally, the simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC gave players more flexibility than ever before, eliminating the staggered release schedule that accompanied Monster Hunter World’s debut.

"Additionally, the introduction of the new Focus Mode mechanic and the implementation of seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems have provided an even more immersive gaming experience, while 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, Capcom is committed to supporting Monster Hunter Wilds with regular updates. Title Update 1, launching April 4, introduces a beloved monster fan-favorite and the Grand Hub — a brand-new in-game settlement designed to enhance player interaction and social gameplay. Title Update 2, scheduled for release this summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus, much to the delight of longtime series fans.

For those looking to dive deeper into the game, IGN has compiled a comprehensive summary of everything announced during the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase, offering detailed insights into what’s coming next.
