Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved a remarkable feat by selling over eight million units in just three days, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history. This impressive performance significantly outpaces the five million units shipped by Monster Hunter World in 2018 and the four million units of Monster Hunter Rise in 2021.
The success of Monster Hunter Wilds is not surprising, given its explosive start with over one million concurrent players on Steam during its opening weekend. It even surpassed Cyberpunk 2077 to become the 7th most-played game ever on the platform, contributing to Steam reaching a new milestone of over 40 million concurrent players for the first time.
In our review of Monster Hunter Wilds, we noted that the game "continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge." This suggests that while the game is highly enjoyable, it may not provide the same level of difficulty that some fans of the series might expect.
The Monster Hunter franchise, which began in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, has now surpassed 108 million units sold worldwide as of December 31, 2024, highlighting the enduring popularity and success of the series.
