Capcom Q2 Shows Monster Hunter Wilds’ Sales Slide to 160,000 as Older Titles Outsell It

Heavy discounting of older Capcom games left the new release trailing.

Overview

  • Capcom’s results for the quarter ended September 30 show Monster Hunter Wilds sold 160,000 units, down from 477,000 in Q1.
  • In the period, the game was outsold by discounted catalogue titles such as Devil May Cry 5 with 352,000 units and Monster Hunter Rise with 254,000.
  • Capcom reported its highest ever first‑half catalogue sales, crediting deep discounts even as Wilds’ post‑launch momentum weakened.
  • Despite the slowdown, Wilds debuted with more than 10 million copies in its first month and is the US year‑to‑date dollar sales leader through August, according to Circana.
  • Capcom has pointed to PS5 price as a headwind and told PC players to expect performance updates this winter, with in‑game events continuing.
