Monster Hunter Wilds continues to dominate the gaming scene, having now surpassed 10 million units sold, setting a new first-month sales record for Capcom. This achievement marks the highest initial sales figure in the company's history, eclipsing the previous record set when the game sold 8 million copies in just three days.

Capcom attributes the unprecedented success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several innovative features. The introduction of crossplay, allowing players across different platforms to connect and play together, has been a game-changer. Furthermore, the simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC—unlike its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, which had a staggered release—has significantly boosted its appeal.

"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," Capcom stated.

The game also introduces the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, enhancing the immersive experience. These elements, combined with Monster Hunter’s inherent appeal, have driven the excitement and contributed to the record-breaking sales.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive exciting 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, slated for the summer, will bring back the beloved Lagiacrus.

The Monster Hunter series made a significant impact in the West with the release of Monster Hunter World in 2018, which remains Capcom’s best-selling game with 21.3 million units sold. Given the momentum of Monster Hunter Wilds, it seems poised to eventually surpass this milestone.
