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 shattered records by becoming Capcom's fastest-selling game ever, with sales exceeding 8 million units in a mere three days post-launch. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, marking a historic moment for the company.

According to SteamDB, MH Wilds has enjoyed a phenomenal launch, achieving over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to their relentless promotional efforts, participation in global video game events, and an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug

MH Wilds has recently tackled several bugs that were hindering player progress. Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced on Twitter (X) on March 4, 2025, that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms.

This update resolved issues such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking even when criteria were met, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a critical bug that halted 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 were addressed in this patch. Issues like network errors triggered by firing an SOS flare after starting a quest, and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks failing to inflict stun and exhaust damages, remain unresolved. These multiplayer-related bugs are expected to be fixed in upcoming updates.
