"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

Monster Hunter Wilds continues to break records, soaring past the 10 million sales mark and setting a new first-month sales record for Capcom. This impressive feat eclipses the company's previous achievements, including the success of Monster Hunter World.

Capcom attributes the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key factors. The introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, along with a simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has allowed a broader range of players to enjoy the game together. This day-one multi-platform availability contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release.

In a statement, Capcom elaborated on the game's appeal: "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 highlighted innovative gameplay mechanics such as the new Focus Mode and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive experience. These features, combined with the inherent appeal of the Monster Hunter franchise, have driven the game's record-breaking sales.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive continuous updates. Title Update 1, launching on April 4, introduces a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, slated for the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus. For more detailed insights into these updates, check out IGN's comprehensive coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.

The success of Monster Hunter Wilds builds on the foundation laid by Monster Hunter World, which, since its 2018 launch, has sold 21.3 million copies and remains Capcom's best-selling game to date. Given its current trajectory, it's likely that Monster Hunter Wilds will eventually surpass even these figures.
