Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 8 Million Units Sold in 3 Days and Is the Fastest Capcom Game to Do So

Monster Hunter Wilds achieves phenomenal success, surpassing eight million units sold within its first three days—a record-breaking feat for Capcom. This surpasses the five million sales of 2018's Monster Hunter World and the four million of Monster Hunter Rise (2021).

This impressive performance is unsurprising, given Monster Hunter Wilds' remarkable achievement of over one million concurrent Steam players during its opening weekend. This success even propelled it past Cyberpunk 2077 to become the 7th most-played game on Steam, contributing to Steam's record-breaking 40 million concurrent players.
