It’s been a good opening month for Capcom’s fastest-selling game.
Monster Hunter Wilds’ first month has been a right corker, as Capcom revealed it managed to shift over 10 million copies in the game’s opening weeks.
Around eight million of those were just in the first three days of launch, making it the fastest-selling Capcom game in the developer’s history. So while things have slowed down outside the initial hype, an extra two million copies in the following weeks is still no small feat.
Those numbers already put Wilds incredibly close to 2021’s Monster Hunter Rise, which hit a milestone of 15 million copies sold last May. I wouldn’t be surprised if Wilds manages to surpass that number before the year is out.
It’s not quite at Monster Hunter: World level yet, though—that game’s reported to have shifted just shy of 30 million copies before Wilds released. But considering it took World seven years to get there, it’s cool to see Wilds managing over a third of that in a fraction of the time.
