Monster Hunter Wilds Hits 8 Million Sales in Just 3 Days, Sets Capcom Record

Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved an impressive milestone, surpassing eight million units sold within just three days since its launch. This achievement marks it as the fastest-selling Capcom game in history, significantly outpacing its predecessors, such as Monster Hunter World, which reached five million sales in 2018, and Monster Hunter Rise, which sold four million copies in 2021.

According to Capcom, the game's initial sales figures are exceptionally strong, setting a new bar for the franchise. These results align with its unprecedented success on platforms like Steam, where it peaked above one million concurrent players during its opening weekend. In doing so, it dethroned Cyberpunk 2077 to become the seventh-most-played game of all time, helping Steam achieve its highest-ever concurrent user count of 40 million players.
