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 quickly become Capcom's fastest-selling game, with sales exceeding 8 million units within three days of its launch. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, marking it as a historic achievement for the company.

The game's success was evident on Steam, where it achieved over 1.3 million concurrent players, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to their effective marketing strategies, including global video game event appearances and an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug

In response to player feedback, Capcom has released a crucial update for MH Wilds. On March 4, 2025, Monster Hunter Status, the official support account, announced via Twitter (X) that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms.

This patch addresses several bugs that were hindering gameplay, including issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as expected, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a significant game-breaking bug in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down" that blocked story progression. Players must update the game to continue enjoying online play.

However, not all bugs have been resolved yet. Ongoing issues include network errors when players use an SOS flare after starting a quest, and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks failing to inflict stun and exhaust damages. These multiplayer-related bugs are expected to be fixed in an upcoming patch.
