Monster Hunter Wilds Continues To Be One of The Most Popular Games of 2025
Monster Hunter Wilds is Popular Due To Its Story, Immersion, and Crossplay
MH Wilds has shattered sales records by selling over 8 million units within just three days of its release, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a detailed interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer behind the Monster Hunter series, emphasized that the game's success is largely due to its focus on storytelling and exceptional voice work. Additionally, Tsujimoto pointed out that crossplay has played a significant role in bringing players together across various gaming consoles.
In a previous conversation with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto underscored the significance of the PC platform and their dedication to implementing crossplay. He recognized the growing influence of PCs in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." He further elaborated, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play on, and then [you can just] go online and hunt with your friends."
Despite Tsujimoto's praise for the game's narrative, some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the story on Steam discussions. The primary criticisms revolve around lengthy Seikrit rides and dialogue that didn't resonate with them. However, many fans acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than their story.
Here at Game8, Monster Hunter Wilds earned an impressive overall score of 90 out of 100. This high rating is attributed to the game's enhancements over its predecessors, including quality-of-life improvements, engaging gameplay, stunning visuals, and a surprisingly compelling narrative.
