Monster Hunter Wilds has soared to unprecedented heights by selling over 8 million units within just three days of its release, marking it as Capcom's fastest-selling game to date.

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 title, with sales exceeding 8 million units in a mere three days since its launch. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, highlighting MH Wilds as a historic achievement for the company.

The game's success was initially highlighted by SteamDB reports, which showed that MH Wilds achieved over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam shortly after its release, despite garnering mixed reviews. Capcom credits this phenomenal accomplishment to their strategic efforts in promoting the game to a wide audience through participation in global video game events and an open beta test that allowed players a sneak peek at what MH Wilds has to offer.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug

In response to player feedback, MH Wilds has rolled out a crucial update that addresses several bugs that were hindering player progress. On March 4, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced via Twitter (X) that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms.

This patch resolves critical issues, such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking despite meeting the necessary criteria, the inability to access the Monster Field Guide, and a severe game-breaking bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down," among others. Players are required to update the game to continue enjoying online play.

However, not all bugs have been fixed in this update. Some multiplayer-related issues remain, such as a network error triggered when players send an SOS flare after starting a quest, and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks failing to inflict stun and exhaust damages. These unresolved issues are expected to be addressed in a forthcoming patch.
