In a stunning display of success, Monster Hunter Wilds has catapulted to the top of Capcom's sales charts, selling over 8 million units in just three days. This achievement marks it as Capcom's fastest-selling game ever, despite some existing bugs. Dive into the details of Capcom's monumental accomplishment and the latest updates on Monster Hunter Wilds.
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 exceeding 8 million units within three days of its release. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, highlighting MH Wilds as the quickest title to reach this impressive figure in the company's history.
The game's success was evident from the start, as reported by SteamDB, where MH Wilds achieved over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this remarkable achievement to their relentless promotional efforts, which included showcasing the game at global video game events and conducting an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.
Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug
MH Wilds has now addressed bugs that limited players’ progress in the game. Monster Hunter’s official support account, Monster Hunter Status, posted on Twitter (X) on March 4, 2025 that hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now live on all platforms.
The latest update for Monster Hunter Wilds has tackled several critical bugs that were hindering player progress. The hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00, released on March 4, 2025, addresses issues such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking despite meeting the criteria, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a game-breaking bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are required to update the game to continue playing online.
However, not all bugs have been resolved in this update. Issues such as network errors when players fire an SOS flare after a quest begins, and Palico’s blunt weapon attacks not inflicting stun and exhaust damages, remain. These multiplayer-related bugs are expected to be addressed in a future patch.
