Already Capcom’s fastest-selling game of all time, Monster Hunter Wilds has set another record.
According to Famitsu magazine, Monster Hunter Rise for PlayStation 5 has become the best-selling Japanese launch on PS5 so far, outperforming other popular games such as Final Fantasy XVI (429,330 units) and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (358,353 units). This is based on the number of physical copies sold.
Contrasting with other Monster Hunter games, Monster Hunter World has outperformed it significantly. At its debut, Monster Hunter World sold approximately 1.35 million physical copies for the PS4. However, not every PlayStation 5 console is equipped to play physical games, leading me to believe that a significant number of players might be using the digital-only version of the PS5.
Monster Hunter Wilds Has Become A Gaming Phenomenon
It’s no exaggeration to claim that Monster Hunter Wilds is highly popular; in fact, its popularity extends beyond the virtual world and has led to a genuine shortage of the game’s signature Naan cheese in real life.
This game is exceptionally well-received, scoring a whopping 95% from professional critics and 90% from players, placing it among the top 1% of all games reviewed on OpenCritic.
Lately, Capcom has elevated producer Ryozo Tsujimoto to manage their development departments.
With a surge in sales for Monster Hunter World, it’s evident that gaming enthusiasts are experiencing a “Monster Hunter craze.” In fact, four out of Capcom’s top ten best-selling titles belong to the Monster Hunter series.
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but marvel at the success of Monster Hunter Wild, which has managed to sell over 8 million copies since its release. This puts it on the brink of joining the elite top 10 best-selling games, outranking games like Street Fighter V and the original Resident Evil 2 for PS1. Right now, Monster Hunter: World (with 21 million units sold) and Monster Hunter Rise (at 16.7 million units sold) lead the pack, but don’t be shocked if Monster Hunter Wild isn’t up there soon too!
