Monster Hunter Wilds continues to break records, having now sold over 10 million copies in its first month on the market. This phenomenal achievement marks a new milestone for developer and publisher Capcom, surpassing all previous first-month sales records in the company's history. Just three days after its launch, Wilds had already become Capcom's fastest-selling game ever, with 8 million copies sold.
Capcom attributes the game's extraordinary success to several key features. Notably, the introduction of crossplay, allowing players across different platforms to play together, and the simultaneous release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC have been pivotal. These elements have broadened the game's appeal, enabling a more diverse player base to engage with the title.
Additionally, Capcom highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems as significant enhancements that have enriched the gaming experience. The fusion of these innovative features with the core Monster Hunter gameplay has generated immense excitement and contributed to the record-breaking sales.
Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first title update on April 4, introducing a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. The second title update, teased to include the return of Lagiacrus, is scheduled for the summer.
