Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom’s latest entry in the series, has quickly become the fastest-selling title in the company’s history, despite performance issues on both console and PC versions. The game sold 8 million copies within just three days of its release on February 28, 2025.
At this pace, it is expected to outsell Monster Hunter: World, which had sold over 20 million copies as of September 2024, according to Statista. Considering that Monster Hunter: World was released in 2018, it is reasonable to believe that Monster Hunter Wilds will match or surpass those numbers, especially given its strong initial sales. Capcom is undoubtedly pleased with the game’s performance.
