Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved a remarkable feat by selling over 8 million units in just three days, making it Capcom's fastest-selling game to date. This impressive milestone was announced on Capcom's official website, highlighting the game's unprecedented success. Despite the presence of some bugs, the game has captured the attention of gamers worldwide.

Monster Hunter Wilds Is Now Capcom’s Fastest Selling Game

Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has set a new record for Capcom, selling over 8 million units in just three days since its release. This achievement marks the fastest time any title in Capcom's history has reached such a milestone. According to SteamDB, MH Wilds has also seen significant success on Steam, with over 1.3 million concurrent players, despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to their extensive promotional efforts, including global video game event appearances and 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, hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00, has been released across all platforms to address several critical bugs. This patch fixes issues such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking despite meeting the criteria, the Monster Field Guide not being accessible, 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 unaddressed. These multiplayer-related bugs are expected to be fixed in a future patch.
