Monster Hunter Wilds continues to shatter records, having now sold over 10 million copies within its first month on the market. This achievement marks a new high for Capcom, surpassing any previous sales records the company has set in such a short timeframe. Previously, Wilds had already made headlines by selling 8 million copies in just three days, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history.
In a press statement, Capcom attributed the game's phenomenal success to several key features. They highlighted the introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, and the simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. This approach, in contrast to Monster Hunter World's delayed PC release, has significantly broadened the game's appeal. Capcom also mentioned the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems, enhancing the immersive experience. These elements, combined with Monster Hunter's inherent appeal, have driven the game to set a new first-month sales record for the company.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive continuous updates. Title Update 1, scheduled for April 4, introduces a beloved monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, expected in the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus.
