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 shattered records by becoming Capcom's fastest-selling game, with sales surpassing 8 million units within just three days of its launch. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, marking a historic moment for the company.
According to SteamDB, MH Wilds has enjoyed a triumphant launch, amassing over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to their relentless promotional efforts, which included showcasing the game at international gaming events and conducting an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game's features firsthand.
Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug
In response to player feedback, Capcom has released a hot fix patch, Ver.1.000.04.00, now available across all platforms. This update, announced via Monster Hunter's official support account on Twitter (X) on March 4, 2025, tackles several bugs that were hindering gameplay. Key fixes include resolving issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as intended, correcting the Monster Field Guide accessibility, and addressing a critical bug that was blocking story progression in Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down." Players must update the game to continue playing online seamlessly.
While this patch has addressed several issues, some bugs remain unresolved, such as network errors when players use an SOS flare post-quest start, and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not inflicting stun and exhaust damage. Capcom has assured the community that these multiplayer-related issues will be tackled in an upcoming patch.
