The phenomenal success of *Monster Hunter Wilds* continues unabated, as it has now surpassed the 10 million sales mark, setting a new record for Capcom. This achievement marks the highest first-month sales in the company’s history, eclipsing all previous records. Remarkably, *Wilds* had already become Capcom's fastest-selling game ever by selling 8 million copies within just three days of its release.
In a press release, Capcom attributed the game's unprecedented success to several key factors. They highlighted the introduction of crossplay, which is a first for the Monster Hunter series, and the simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. This day-one availability across multiple platforms contrasts with *Monster Hunter World*, which had a staggered release with PC following six months after the console versions.
"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," Capcom explained. They also emphasized the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive gaming experience. The integration of these new features with the core appeal of Monster Hunter has created significant excitement, contributing to the record-breaking first-month sales of over 10 million units.
Looking ahead, *Monster Hunter Wilds* is set to receive continuous updates. Title Update 1, scheduled for April 4, introduces a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Capcom has also teased Title Update 2, set for the summer, which will bring back the beloved Lagiacrus.
