Monster Hunter Wilds shattered sales records, exceeding 8 million units sold within its first three days—a monumental achievement for Capcom, making it their fastest-selling game ever.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Capcom's Fastest-Selling Game Ever

Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has officially claimed the title of Capcom's fastest-selling game, surpassing 8 million units sold in just three days. Capcom proudly announced this record-breaking achievement on their website, highlighting the game's phenomenal launch.
This impressive feat follows earlier reports from SteamDB, showing MH Wilds attracting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam alone, despite mixed initial reviews. Capcom attributes this success to a multifaceted strategy: extensive global marketing, prominent appearances at major gaming events, and a well-received open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.
Latest Update Addresses Critical Bugs
MH Wilds recently addressed several game-breaking bugs that hampered player progress. On March 4th, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced via Twitter (X) the release of hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 across all platforms.
This crucial update resolved issues such as the inability to unlock the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features, inaccessibility of the Monster Field Guide, and most importantly, a game-breaking bug blocking story progression in Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down." Furthermore, this update is mandatory for continued online play.
While this patch resolved many critical issues, some bugs persist. Multiplayer-related problems, including network errors when using SOS flares and inaccurate damage calculations for Palico's blunt weapons, remain to be addressed in future updates. These will likely be tackled in subsequent patches.
