"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

Monster Hunter Wilds continues its meteoric rise, now surpassing 10 million units sold in its first month—a new record for Capcom. This surpasses the previous fastest-selling record set by the game itself, which sold 8 million copies in just three days. This achievement marks a significant milestone, as no other Capcom title has reached such sales figures within a month of release.

In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the game's success to several key factors. Notably, the introduction of crossplay and a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC have significantly broadened the game's appeal. Unlike its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release, Wilds was available on all platforms from day one.

Capcom highlighted, "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."

Furthermore, the addition of the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems have enhanced the immersive experience. Capcom noted, "Additionally, the introduction of the new Focus Mode mechanic and the implementation of seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems have provided an even more immersive gaming experience, while the fusion of numerous new elements with Monster Hunter’s appeal has generated significant excitement, all of which led to the company first-month sales record of over 10 million units sold."

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update on April 4, introducing a beloved monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, teased to feature Lagiacrus, is slated for the summer.

With Monster Hunter World already holding the title as Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million units sold, it appears likely that Wilds will eventually eclipse this record.
