Monster Hunter Wilds continues to shatter records, having now surpassed the 10 million units sold mark. This achievement marks a new milestone for Capcom, establishing it as the fastest-selling game in the company's history. Just three days after its release, Wilds had already sold 8 million copies, outpacing all previous records set by Capcom.

In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the game's phenomenal success to several key features. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, along with a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, played a significant role in its widespread appeal. This approach contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which saw a PC release six months after its console debut.

"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," Capcom stated. They also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems as enhancements that have enriched the gaming experience. The integration of these new features with the core Monster Hunter appeal has driven the excitement leading to the record-breaking first-month sales of over 10 million units.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive ongoing updates. Title Update 1, launching on April 4, will introduce a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, scheduled for the summer, promises to bring back the beloved 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 units sold. Given its current trajectory, Monster Hunter Wilds is poised to potentially surpass even these impressive figures in the future.
