Monster Hunter Wilds continues to shatter records, having now surpassed the impressive milestone of 10 million units sold. This phenomenal achievement marks a new first-month sales record for Capcom, outpacing any game the company has ever released. Previously, Wilds set a new benchmark by selling 8 million copies within just three days of its launch, cementing its status as the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history.
In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key factors that have resonated strongly with gamers worldwide. The introduction of crossplay, a feature new to the series, and a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC have significantly broadened the game's appeal. Notably, this contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which had a delayed PC release by half a year. Capcom highlighted, "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."
Additionally, the game's innovative Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems have enhanced the immersive gaming experience. Capcom noted, "The introduction of the new Focus Mode mechanic and the implementation of seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems have provided an even more immersive gaming experience, while the fusion of numerous new elements with Monster Hunter’s appeal has generated significant excitement, all of which led to the company first-month sales record of over 10 million units sold."
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to keep the momentum going with the release of Title Update 1 on April 4. This update introduces a fan-favorite monster and the new Grand Hub, a central in-game settlement designed for player interaction and community building. Title Update 2, slated for the summer, will bring back the beloved Lagiacrus.

Monster Hunter Wilds is poised to potentially eclipse the sales figures of its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, which, since its 2018 release, remains Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million units sold. Given Wilds' current trajectory, it's likely to surpass this impressive figure in the future.
