Monster Hunter Wilds has not only surpassed eight million units sold in just three days, but it has also become the fastest Capcom game ever to reach this milestone. This impressive feat significantly outpaces the five million copies that Monster Hunter World shipped in 2018 and the four million units of Monster Hunter Rise sold in 2021. These numbers underscore the immense popularity and rapid success of Monster Hunter Wilds.
The game's launch was nothing short of phenomenal, with Monster Hunter Wilds surpassing one million concurrent players on Steam during its opening weekend. This surge in player numbers not only propelled it past Cyberpunk 2077, making it the 7th most-played game ever on the platform, but also contributed to Steam reaching a historic 40 million concurrent players for the first time.
In our review of Monster Hunter Wilds, we noted that the game "continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge." This balance of accessibility and enjoyment has evidently resonated with a vast audience, fueling its rapid sales and engagement.
Capcom also shared that the Monster Hunter franchise, which debuted in 2004 on PlayStation 2, has now exceeded 108 million units sold as of December 31, 2024. This milestone highlights the enduring appeal and growth of the series over the years.
