Big news about Monster Hunter Wilds! According to Capcom, the game has sold an incredible 8 million copies in just 3 days, possibly making it Capcom’s fastest-selling game ever! That is a huge milestone for a title that launched on February 28, 2025, showing just how much we all are loving the hunt.
This record-breaking launch also puts Wilds ahead of even Monster Hunter World, which took a full week to hit 5 million sales back in 2018. With Wilds coming with new mechanics, a dynamic open world, and exciting monster hunts, it is definitely no surprise that players worldwide are joining in at record speed.
Why Is Monster Hunter Wilds Selling So Fast?

- New Gameplay Innovations – Seamless open zones, a living ecosystem, and new traversal mechanics are drawing both veterans and newcomers.
- Strong Pre-Launch Hype – Capcom’s marketing, combined with glowing early impressions, had everyone eager to jump in on day one.
With these numbers, Wilds is probably one of the biggest Monster Hunter games ever, and as mentioned, possibly one of Capcom’s top-selling games of all time. The hunt has never been more alive!
