La Derecha Diario Monster Hunter Wilds breaks records and becomes Capcom's biggest launch
The game surpassed 8 million copies sold in just 3 days, marking the most successful debut in Capcom's history.
Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved a historic launch for Capcom, selling over 8 million copies in just three days. With this figure, the monster hunting game greatly surpassed Monster Hunter World, which in 2018 reached 5 million in the same period.
The impact of the title was also felt on Steam, where it recorded more than 1.3 million concurrent players, positioning itself among the most played on Valve's platform.
A commercial success with mixed reviews
Despite the impressive sales performance, Monster Hunter Wilds has received mixed opinions from players. On Steam, the game has a rating of 58%, with criticisms focused on performance issues and the inclusion of microtransactions in the character editor.
Capcom bet heavily on the promotion of the title, with open betas, multiple presentation streams, and a global advertising campaign.
The impact on Capcom and the future of the saga
The success of the game has had repercussions within the company. Ryozo Tsujimoto, veteran producer of the franchise, has been assigned to oversee the development of all Capcom's internal divisions following the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds.
The title is already available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, and it is expected to continue breaking records in the coming months.
