Capcom’s latest game, Monster Hunter Wilds, has shattered records as its fastest selling title to date, surpassing 8 million units sold in just three days. The game’s impressive performance can be attributed to its broad global appeal, inclusion in major events such as PlayStation’s State of Play and The Game Awards, and the successful online beta tests.
The game’s sales have pushed it to a record high on Steam, with over 1.38 million concurrent players peaking over the weekend. Monster Hunter Wilds has sold over 8 million units across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
Capcom attributes the game’s success to its industry-leading development capabilities and commitment to satisfying user expectations. However, it acknowledges that some users may have experienced technical issues with the game.
To address these concerns, a patch was released earlier today to fix a progress-blocking bug. Fans have also taken matters into their own hands by releasing mods to bypass character creator monetization and tweak settings for new players.
Monster Hunter Wilds has cemented its place as Capcom’s most lucrative series, beating out other top-selling titles such as Monster Hunter Worlds and Resident Evil 2 remake. The game’s success marks an exciting development in the monster hunting genre, and gamers can look forward to more updates and content from Capcom in the near future.
