Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed eight million units sold in just three days, becoming the fastest Capcom title to ever reach this milestone.
According to Capcom's official reports, Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved an unprecedented launch performance – significantly outpacing Monster Hunter World's five million copies shipped in 2018 and Monster Hunter Rise's four million in 2021.
These record-breaking numbers were anticipated after Monster Hunter Wilds surpassed one million concurrent Steam players during its launch weekend, dethroning Cyberpunk 2077 as the platform's 7th most-played game of all time. The title also helped Steam achieve its first-ever 40 million concurrent player milestone.
In our official Monster Hunter Wilds review, we praised how the game "refines the series' mechanics with intelligent improvements, delivering exhilarating combat encounters while maintaining an accessible difficulty level."
Regarding the broader franchise, Capcom confirmed that the Monster Hunter series – which debuted on PlayStation 2 in 2004 – has now sold over 108 million units globally as of December 31, 2024.
