Monster Hunter Wilds: A Record-Breaking 8 Million Units Sold in 3 Days
Capcom's Fastest-Selling Game Ever
Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has officially claimed the title of Capcom's fastest-selling game, achieving over 8 million units sold in a mere three days. Capcom proudly announced this remarkable feat on their website, highlighting the game's unprecedented speed in reaching this milestone.
Prior to this announcement, SteamDB data revealed MH Wilds' impressive launch, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam alone, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to a comprehensive marketing strategy, including prominent appearances at global gaming events and a well-received open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.
Latest Update Addresses Critical Bugs
MH Wilds recently addressed several game-breaking bugs that were hindering player progress. On March 4th, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced via Twitter (X) the release of hotfix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 across all platforms.
This crucial update resolved various issues, including the inability to unlock "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features, inaccessibility of the Monster Field Guide, and most importantly, a critical bug preventing story progression in Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are now required to update the game to continue online play.
However, some bugs remain unresolved, such as a network error triggered by SOS flares and issues with Palico blunt weapon attacks. These primarily multiplayer-related bugs are slated for resolution in a future patch.
