Monster Hunter Wilds Continues To Be One of The Most Popular Games of 2025
Monster Hunter Wilds is Popular Due To Its Story, Immersion, and Crossplay
Monster Hunter Wilds has soared to new heights, selling over 8 million units in just three days since its launch, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a recent interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the series producer, highlighted the game's focus on its story and exceptional voice acting as key factors behind its popularity. He also praised the game's crossplay feature, which has successfully united players across various gaming consoles.
In a previous discussion with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the significance of the PC platform and the team's dedication to crossplay. He noted the growing popularity of PCs in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." Tsujimoto further elaborated, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play with, and then [you can just] go online and hunt with your friends."
While Tsujimoto credits the story for the game's success, some fans have expressed differing opinions. Several discussions on Steam point out that the story includes lengthy Seikrit rides and dialogues that some found unengaging. However, many fans acknowledge that the primary allure of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than the narrative.
