"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

The success of *Monster Hunter Wilds* continues to soar, having now surpassed the impressive milestone of 10 million units sold. This achievement sets a new record for Capcom, marking the highest first-month sales in the company's history. Previously, *Wilds* had already made history by becoming the fastest-selling game for Capcom, achieving 8 million sales within just three days of its launch.

In a statement to the press, Capcom outlined the reasons behind *Monster Hunter Wilds'* phenomenal success, which has even outpaced the sales of *Monster Hunter World*. Key factors include the introduction of crossplay, allowing players on different platforms to enjoy the game together, and a simultaneous release across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This approach differs from *Monster Hunter World*, which saw a staggered release with a six-month delay for the PC version.

Capcom emphasized that "The title provides an environment where a wider range of players can enjoy the game together with the introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, and a simultaneous release on PlayStation 5 system, Xbox Series X|S, and PC." They also highlighted new features such as the Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, which enhance the immersive experience. The combination of these innovations with the core appeal of *Monster Hunter* has sparked significant excitement, contributing to the record-breaking sales.

Looking ahead, *Monster Hunter Wilds* is set to receive continuous updates. Title Update 1, scheduled for April 4, introduces a fan-favorite monster and the new Grand Hub, a settlement for player interaction. Title Update 2, expected in the summer, will feature the return of Lagiacrus.

The *Monster Hunter* series made a significant impact in the West with the 2018 release of *World*, which remains Capcom's best-selling game to date with 21.3 million units sold. However, with its current trajectory, *Wilds* is poised to eventually surpass even these figures.
