Monster Hunter Wilds Has Sold 10 Million Copies in Its First Month
Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed 10 million copies sold in just its first month – making it one of the fastest-selling titles in the franchise’s history. Wilds launched on February 28, 2025 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
The latest entry in Capcom’s legendary Monster Hunter franchise has been a massive commercial success since its launch last month. The company has announced that the game has sold over 10 million copies.
Released simultaneously across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game’s success has been helped by the introduction of crossplay, free title updates, and the new Focus Mode.

What Makes Monster Hunter Wilds So Successful?
In a letter to fans, Capcom explained how fans have taken to Wilds due to new features for the series, such as crossplay and Focus Mode.
Hoping to build on the game’s early success, Capcom will release its first free Title Update on April 4. This update will add fan-favorite monster Mizutune, the Grand Hub, and Arena Quests to the action RPG.
How It Compares to Past Monster Hunter Titles
Monster Hunter Wilds is the fastest-selling game in Capcom’s history, surpassing the company’s other franchises like Resident Evil and Street Fighter, and even its popular Monster Hunter World – which previously held the franchise record of 334,684 concurrent players on Steam, which Wilds smashed with a peak of 1,384,608 at launch.
The franchise’s sales record is held by Monster Hunter World, which has sold 21 million units since its launch in 2018. That milestone could be smashed by the end of the year if Wilds continues its record-breaking start.
What’s Next for Monster Hunter Wilds?
Capcom is not slowing down, with Title Update 1 launching for MHW on April 4, 2025. The free update will add the Grand Hub, Arena Quests, classic emotes, and monster Mizutune to the game.
A second free update will launch sometime in the summer, which Capcom says will “delight players.” Capcom highlights the game’s ability to offer an “even more immersive gaming experience” compared to previous titles as a reason for its success – something it wishes to continue building.
