The phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds continues unabated, as it has now surpassed the 10 million sales mark, establishing a new record for Capcom. This achievement marks the highest first-month sales in the company's history, outstripping all previous titles. Remarkably, Wilds had already set a precedent by selling 8 million copies in just three days, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's portfolio.

In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the game's success to several key innovations. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, along with a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has significantly broadened the game's appeal. This approach contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which saw a PC release six months after its console debut. Capcom highlighted that, "The title provides an environment where a wider range of players can enjoy the game together with the introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, and a simultaneous release on PlayStation 5 system, Xbox Series X|S, and PC."

Furthermore, Capcom emphasized the addition of the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive gaming experience. The fusion of these new features with the core Monster Hunter appeal has sparked considerable excitement, contributing to the record-breaking first-month sales of over 10 million units.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 is scheduled for release on April 4, introducing a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Capcom has also teased Title Update 2, slated for the summer, which will feature the return of Lagiacrus.

The Monster Hunter series has already made a significant impact in the West with the 2018 launch of Monster Hunter World, which remains Capcom's best-selling game to date with 21.3 million units sold. Given the current trajectory, it seems likely that Monster Hunter Wilds will eventually surpass this figure.
