Monster Hunter Wilds breaks records and becomes the biggest release in Capcom's history

With over 8 million copies sold in three days, the game exceeds all expectations

The Capcom made history once again. Monster Hunter Wilds, the newest title in the acclaimed monster hunting franchise, had a overwhelming release, becoming the company's biggest debut success.

In the first three days after hitting the market, the game sold an impressive 8 million copies, surpassing any other Capcom release. To give an idea of the magnitude of this number, Monster Hunter: World, which held the previous record, took two weeks to reach 5 million units sold.

Comparisons with other industry giants

The performance of Monster Hunter Wilds already places it among the biggest game launches in video game history. Black Myth: Wukong, one of the recent big phenomena, reached 10 million copies in its first three days, a feat that Wilds is very close to achieving.

Furthermore, the game had an incredible performance on Steam, reaching a peak of 987,482 simultaneous players, placing it among the platform's biggest successes.

The impact of success and the challenges of post-launch

With such a positive reception, Capcom has already made it clear that they will continue to work to enhance the experience, especially on the PC version, which had some technical issues reported by players.

On consoles, Monster Hunter Wilds continues with a solid performance, maintaining the franchise's tradition of offering engaging gameplay and epic hunts.

If this pace continues, Wilds has everything to surpass Monster Hunter: World, which is currently the best-selling game in Capcom history, with 28.1 million copies sold.

The new chapter of the franchise has already established itself as an absolute phenomenon and promises to keep players busy for a long time.
