Monster Hunter Wilds Continues To Be One of The Most Popular Games of 2025

Monster Hunter Wilds is Popular Due To Its Story, Immersion, and Crossplay

With over 8 million units sold in just three days since its launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has set a new record as Capcom’s fastest-selling game. In a recent interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of the Monster Hunter series, credited the game's success to its rich storytelling and exceptional voice acting. He also highlighted the significance of crossplay, which has enabled players on different consoles to come together and enjoy the game.

In a previous conversation with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto underscored the growing importance of the PC platform and their dedicated efforts to enhance crossplay. He stated, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around," and added, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play with, and then [you can just] go online and hunt with your friends."

While Tsujimoto praised the story, some fans expressed differing opinions on platforms like Steam. They felt the narrative was hindered by lengthy Seikrit rides and uninspiring dialogue. However, many fans acknowledged that the primary allure of Monster Hunter games lies in their engaging gameplay rather than the storyline.

Here at Game8, Monster Hunter Wilds earned an impressive overall score of 90 out of 100. This high rating is attributed to its enhancements over previous titles, including quality-of-life improvements, addictive gameplay, stunning visuals, and a surprisingly captivating story.
