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 set a new benchmark as Capcom's fastest-selling game, achieving over 8 million sales within just 3 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 phenomenal success since its release, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, even amidst mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to their relentless promotional efforts, which included showcasing the game at international gaming expos and conducting an open beta test to give players a taste of what MH Wilds offers.
Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug
In response to player feedback, Monster Hunter Wilds has rolled out a crucial update. The Monster Hunter Status official support account on Twitter (X) announced on March 4, 2025, that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms.
This patch tackles several bugs that were hindering gameplay, including issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking despite meeting the necessary criteria, and the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible. A significant game-breaking bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down" has also been fixed. Players are required to update the game to continue enjoying online play.
However, some bugs remain unresolved, such as network errors when players use an SOS flare post-quest start and issues with Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not causing stun and exhaust damage. Capcom has indicated that these multiplayer-related bugs will be addressed in a forthcoming patch.
