Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over eight million units within just three days of its release, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history. This impressive performance significantly exceeds the launch sales of its predecessors, with Monster Hunter World shipping five million copies in 2018 and Monster Hunter Rise shipping four million in 2021.
The success of Monster Hunter Wilds is not surprising, as it quickly surpassed one million concurrent players on Steam during its opening weekend. This surge in popularity helped Wilds overtake Cyberpunk 2077, securing its position as the 7th most-played game ever on the platform. Additionally, the game's launch contributed to Steam reaching over 40 million concurrent players for the first time.
In our review of Monster Hunter Wilds, we noted that the game continues to refine the series by smoothing out its rougher edges. This results in highly enjoyable combat, although some may find it lacks the challenge of earlier titles.
Capcom also shared that the Monster Hunter franchise, which started on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, has now surpassed 108 million units sold worldwide as of December 31, 2024.
