Monster Hunter Wilds continues to break records, soaring past the impressive milestone of 10 million copies sold, marking a new pinnacle for Capcom. This achievement establishes a first-month sales record for the company, outstripping any game Capcom has ever released. Remarkably, Wilds shattered its own previous record by selling 8 million copies within the first three days of launch, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history.
In a statement to the press, Capcom shed light on the reasons behind Monster Hunter Wilds' extraordinary success, which even eclipses that of Monster Hunter World. Key factors include the introduction of crossplay and a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. The crossplay feature, a first for the series, enables players from different platforms to enjoy the game together, significantly enhancing its appeal.
"The title provides an environment where a wider range of players can enjoy the game together with the introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, and a simultaneous release on PlayStation 5 system, Xbox Series X|S, and PC," Capcom elaborated.Furthermore, Capcom highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems, which have contributed to a more immersive gaming experience. The integration of these new features with the series' traditional appeal has generated substantial excitement, culminating in the company's first-month sales record of over 10 million units sold.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 is set to launch on April 4, introducing a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, teased to include Lagiacrus, is slated for a summer release.
