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 swiftly climbed to the top as Capcom’s fastest-selling game, with sales exceeding 8 million units in just three days. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, marking a historic achievement for the company.
The game's launch was met with significant success on Steam, reaching over 1.3 million concurrent players, as reported by SteamDB. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the game's popularity remains strong. Capcom credits this success to their extensive promotional efforts, including 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
In response to player feedback, MH Wilds has released a crucial update that addresses several bugs that were hindering gameplay. On March 4, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced via Twitter (X) that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available on all platforms.
This patch resolves issues such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking when criteria are met, the Monster Field Guide becoming inaccessible, and a critical game-breaking bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are required to update the game to continue playing online.
However, some issues remain unresolved, including network errors when players use an SOS flare after starting a quest, and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not causing stun and exhaust damages. These multiplayer-related bugs are expected to be fixed in an upcoming patch.
