Monster Hunter Wilds continues its remarkable journey, having now surpassed the 10 million sales mark, setting a new record for Capcom. This milestone represents the highest first-month sales in the company's history, outpacing all previous releases. Notably, Wilds achieved 8 million sales within just three days of its launch, making it the fastest-selling game Capcom has ever produced.

In a press release, Capcom attributed the extraordinary success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key features. The introduction of crossplay, allowing players across different platforms to play together, has significantly broadened the game's appeal. Additionally, the simultaneous release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, unlike its predecessor Monster Hunter World which had a staggered release, has contributed to its widespread adoption. Capcom highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems as pivotal elements that enhance the immersive experience. These innovations, combined with the core Monster Hunter gameplay, have sparked immense excitement among fans, leading to the unprecedented first-month sales record.

Looking ahead, Capcom has scheduled the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 for April 4, which will introduce a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, set for the summer, will feature the much-anticipated Lagiacrus.

The Monster Hunter series gained significant traction in the West with the release of Monster Hunter World in 2018, which remains Capcom's best-selling game to date with 21.3 million copies sold. However, with its current trajectory, Monster Hunter Wilds is poised to potentially surpass this figure over time.
