Monster Hunter Wilds Surpassed 8 Million Units in 3 Days
Monster Hunter Wilds Is Now Capcom’s Fastest Selling Game
Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has soared to the top as Capcom's fastest-selling game, achieving sales of over 8 million units within three days of its launch. Capcom proudly announced this record-breaking achievement on their official website, marking MH Wilds as a historic milestone in the company's portfolio.
The game's success was evident from the start, with SteamDB reporting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to extensive promotional efforts, including participation in global video game events and an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.
Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug
Capcom has been proactive in addressing issues within MH Wilds, releasing a hot fix patch, Ver.1.000.04.00, on March 4, 2025, across all platforms. This update tackled several bugs that were hindering player progress, such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as intended, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a critical game-breaking bug that halted story progression in Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are required to update the game to continue enjoying online play.
While this patch resolved some issues, others remain unaddressed, including network errors when firing an SOS flare post-quest start and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not causing stun or exhaust damage. Capcom has indicated that these multiplayer-related bugs will be fixed in upcoming patches.
