"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"
The success of *Monster Hunter Wilds* continues to soar, with the game surpassing the 10 million sales mark and setting a new first-month sales record for Capcom. This milestone eclipses all previous records set by the company, with *Wilds* outpacing even its predecessor, *Monster Hunter World*, which sold 21.3 million copies and remains Capcom's best-selling game to date. *Wilds* achieved an unprecedented feat by selling 8 million copies in just three days, making it the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history.
In a statement to the press, Capcom attributed the phenomenal success of *Monster Hunter Wilds* to several strategic enhancements. The introduction of crossplay, allowing players on different platforms to play together, marked a first for the series. Additionally, the simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, unlike *Monster Hunter World* which had a delayed PC release, significantly broadened the game's appeal. Capcom also highlighted the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, which have enriched the gaming experience. The fusion of these new elements with the core Monster Hunter gameplay has sparked widespread excitement and contributed to the record-breaking sales.
Looking ahead, *Monster Hunter Wilds* is set to receive further updates to keep the momentum going. Title Update 1, launching on April 4, will introduce a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement designed for player interaction. Following that, Title Update 2, scheduled for the summer, will bring back the beloved Lagiacrus.
