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 officially become Capcom’s fastest-selling game, with sales exceeding 8 million units within just 3 days of its release. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, highlighting MH Wilds as the quickest title to achieve this in the company's history.

According to SteamDB, MH Wilds has enjoyed substantial success since its launch, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this achievement to extensive promotional efforts targeting a wide audience, 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

Monster Hunter Wilds has recently tackled several bugs that were hindering player progress. On March 4, 2025, the official Monster Hunter Status account on Twitter (X) announced the release of hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 across all platforms.

This update resolved issues like the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking despite meeting the criteria, inaccessible Monster Field Guide, and a game-breaking bug that halted story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down," among others. Players are required to update the game to continue playing online.

However, not all bugs have been fixed yet. Issues such as network errors when firing an SOS flare post-quest start, Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not inflicting stun and exhaust damages, and other multiplayer-related problems are expected to be addressed in a forthcoming patch.
