Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered records with its phenomenal sales, reaching over 10 million units sold in its first month. This achievement marks a new high for Capcom, surpassing any previous game's sales within a month of release. The game's success was evident from the start, having sold 8 million copies in just three days, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history.

Capcom attributes the game's remarkable performance to several key features. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, has allowed a broader range of players to enjoy the game together. Additionally, the simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, unlike Monster Hunter World's staggered release, has significantly boosted its appeal. Capcom also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive gaming experience. These elements, combined with the series' inherent appeal, have driven the unprecedented excitement and sales.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds continues to evolve with upcoming updates. Title Update 1, set to launch on April 4, will introduce a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, expected in the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus.

While Monster Hunter World remains Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million units sold, the trajectory of Monster Hunter Wilds suggests it may eventually surpass this figure. To aid players in their journey through Wilds, resources such as guides on what the game doesn't tell you, an overview of all 14 weapon types, a detailed walkthrough, a multiplayer guide, and instructions on transferring beta characters are available. These tools are designed to enhance your experience and help you make the most of Monster Hunter Wilds' expansive world.
