Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Wilds topped 8 million copies sold mere days from its global launch last week.

Monster Hunter Wilds has topped 8 million copies sold worldwide within 3 days of its release on February 28th, 2025.

The new milestone cements the game as the fastest-selling game in Capcom’s history. The game also managed to top 1 million concurrent online players just on PC alone, breaking another record for the series.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available now across for PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. Our thorough review is coming shortly.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest entry in the Monster Hunter series and is set in a dynamically changing world that is in one moment a severe wilderness, swarming with packs of attacking monsters, and in the next transforms into a rich natural environment teeming with life. Monster Hunter Wilds features grand, beautiful visual depictions made possible by the RE ENGINE, Capcom’s proprietary game development engine, and cross-play, allowing players to enjoy the game together regardless of their game platform.

Following the game’s announcement, Capcom promoted the appeal of Monster Hunter Wilds to a broad audience worldwide, exhibiting the title at global video game events and holding an online open beta test to give many players a chance to try it, while also providing updates on game information via the online events such as Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase. As a result of these continuous global initiatives, Monster Hunter Wilds has evoked massive excitement and achieved sales of 8 million units in 3 days, the fastest any game has done so in Capcom’s history.

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.
