Monster Hunter Wilds has tagged on another two million units in the weeks since its release, as the fictional animal slaughtering sim has now sold over 10 million units. If you recall, the release topped eight million units just three days after its arrival.
Capcom says this is a “first month sales record” for the company, and it points to the franchise’s growing appeal along with the new elements introduced in this sequel which contributed to its overall success.
A first major update is planned for 4th April, which the publisher hopes will spark new interest in the title. And moving forward, it’s planning further content drops and updates that will “delight players”.
The organisation said: “Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.”
Interestingly, these sales will put the game seventh on its all-time best-sellers list, less than a million units behind Resident Evil Village’s lifetime total. It’s already almost halfway towards matching Monster Hunter: World, which has sold 21.3 million units life-to-date excluding the Iceborne Master Edition – an impressive feat all things considered.

Well deserved, one of their best releases ever.
It hasn’t grabbed me in quite the same way that World did and still, I can’t stop playing Wilds. Looking forward to future content (and maybe a bit more challenge).
If this was released by Square Enix, they would have an urgent meeting to apologize to all shareholders because the sales didn't meet their expectations
@Czar_Khastik Very accurate lol
This there any other character in the game besides Gemma???
World actually sold 28.1m units, the 21.3m units is just the base game alone. The Iceborne master edition(base game + expansion) is not included in that number. Capcom have a history of separating sales for games in strange ways that actually makes them look like they sold less.
@ChrisDeku I've updated that to clarify.
10 million units sold in a month is incredible.

Cool. More resources for Capcom to do Dino Crisis remake, new Breath of Fire, Viewtiful Joe remaster, or...Mega Man Legends 3?!
@Sacrosanctus lol I knew it! Knew someone would bring up Shadows for no reason!
Edit: Technically, you have a reason. But it wasn’t necessary.
Square enix would find these numbers disappointing. MH isn't my cup of tea, but I know how much care they put into the past entries. So it's nice to see another success.
Absolutely well deserved! It's my favorite MH game in the series though I didn't get the game until Rise.
Looking forward to future updates and DLCs. The first free one is already looking massive.
@Sacrosanctus By that logic Wilds is a flop because it won't sell GTA VI numbers. AC has never sold these types of numbers so its stupid comparing.
Easily the weakest modern entry by far but once you reach HR and the game finally open ups the game improves massively. Glad its doing well though and its great seeing the series being so huge now.
Nice impressive!
Now let's see Assassin's creed Shadows sales numbers!
That's impressive.i knew monster hunter wilds was gonna be big.monster hunter world made monster hunter even more popular.word up son
The series deserves the success, they're definitely great games.
Sales not players. Good stuff Capcom. The success is deserved.
I am gonna be honest and say it doesn't deserve the sales given the technical state it launched in. But, it's not a bad game.
It's good they are going to be fixing it.
Love hearing of more single player games success these days!
@Oram77 i can’t blame them. she got my attention 😂
I bought this and kind of forcing my way through it... Much prefer Dragon's Dogma
