Monster Hunter Wilds Becomes Capcom's Fastest-Selling Game with 8 Million Units in 3 Days

The record-breaking launch has been accompanied by critical acclaim, technical issues, and a surge in concurrent players on Steam.

Monster Hunter Wilds sold 8 million copies within three days of release, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's 45-year history.
The game achieved a peak of 1.38 million concurrent players on Steam, placing it in the platform's all-time top five for concurrent users.
Despite its success, the game has faced criticism for performance issues, particularly on PC, and a bug affecting story mode progression that required a patch.
Critics have praised the game for its refined combat, engaging campaign, and accessibility, with Metacritic scores of 90 (consoles) and 88 (PC).
Ryozo Tsujimoto, a key figure in the Monster Hunter franchise, will be promoted to oversee all Capcom development divisions starting in April.
