Monster Hunter Wilds: A Record-Breaking 8 Million Units Sold in 3 Days

Capcom's Fastest-Selling Game Ever

Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has officially claimed the title of Capcom's fastest-selling game, surpassing 8 million units sold within three days of its launch. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their website, highlighting the game's incredible reception.

This achievement follows earlier reports from SteamDB, showing MH Wilds boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam alone, despite mixed reviews. Capcom attributes this success to a comprehensive marketing strategy, including prominent appearances at major gaming events and a well-received open beta test that gave players a taste of the action.

Latest Update Addresses Critical Bugs

MH Wilds recently addressed several game-breaking bugs hindering player progress. On March 4, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced the release of hotfix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 across all platforms.

This update resolved issues such as the inability to unlock "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features, inaccessibility of the Monster Field Guide, and a critical bug blocking story progression in Chapter 5-2 ("A World Turned Upside Down"). Crucially, this update is mandatory for continued online play.

While many issues have been resolved, some bugs remain, including network errors associated with SOS flares and inconsistencies with Palico weapon damage. These multiplayer-related bugs are slated for resolution in future patches.
