Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered sales records by selling over 8 million units in just 3 days, making it Capcom's fastest-selling game to date. This incredible feat was announced on Capcom's official website, celebrating the monumental success of Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). Despite the presence of some bugs, the game's launch has been met with enthusiasm from the gaming community.

Monster Hunter Wilds Is Now Capcom’s Fastest Selling Game

MH Wilds has set a new benchmark for Capcom, achieving the fastest sales in the company's history with over 8 million units sold in just three days. This milestone was proudly announced by Capcom on their official website. The game's success can be attributed to extensive promotional efforts, including appearances at global video game events and an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game before its official release. According to SteamDB, MH Wilds also saw over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, despite receiving mixed reviews due to existing bugs.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug

MH Wilds has now addressed bugs that limited players’ progress in the game. Monster Hunter’s official support account, Monster Hunter Status, posted on Twitter (X) on March 4, 2025 that hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now live on all platforms.

The latest update for MH Wilds, hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00, released on March 4, 2025, has addressed several critical bugs. This patch fixes issues such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as intended, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a game-breaking bug that halted story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are required to update the game to continue playing online.

However, not all bugs were resolved in this update. Issues such as network errors when firing an SOS flare after a quest begins and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not inflicting stun and exhaust damages remain unaddressed. These multiplayer-related bugs are expected to be fixed in a future patch.
