Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered records by selling over eight million copies worldwide within just three days of launch, setting a new benchmark for Capcom. As the long-awaited sequel to 2018’s Monster Hunter World, this marks the first mainline installment in the beloved RPG series in more than seven years.

Few recent games have generated as much excitement as Monster Hunter Wilds. During its open beta sessions in October 2024, thousands of players eagerly explored its monster-hunting world. That enthusiasm only grew stronger upon the game’s full release on February 28, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, earning widespread critical acclaim. With its record-breaking debut, Wilds has not only cemented itself as a standout title within the Monster Hunter franchise but also as one of Capcom’s most successful launches to date.

On March 4, 2025, Capcom officially announced that Monster Hunter Wilds became its fastest-selling game ever, crossing the eight-million mark in just three days. This milestone follows a surge in popularity on Steam and the PlayStation Store, where the game has attracted massive player engagement. Priced at $69.99 across all platforms, the game’s rapid sales translate to more than half a billion dollars in revenue for Capcom. Notably, Wilds has already sold over one-third of Monster Hunter World’s total sales, which stood at 21.3 million copies as of December 2024.

Monster Hunter Wilds Sets a New Sales Record for Capcom

Despite its overwhelming commercial success and positive reception, Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC version has faced technical issues, leading to mixed player feedback. On Steam, the game holds a “Mixed” rating, with only 58% of 64,700 user reviews being positive. Many players have reported performance and stability issues, affecting their overall experience.

Capcom, however, has been proactive in addressing these concerns, rolling out multiple updates to enhance stability and gameplay. One of the most recent patches successfully fixed a major progression-blocking bug, allowing players to advance beyond a critical point in the campaign. As the developer continues refining the game, fans can expect further improvements in the coming weeks.
