Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter: World has sold over 25 million units* worldwide.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in March 2024, the Monster Hunter series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in beautiful natural environments. Beginning with the first title in 2004, the series established a new genre in which players cooperate to hunt ferocious monsters with their friends and has since grown into a global phenomenon with cumulative sales of the series exceeding 97 million units as of December 31, 2023.

With Monster Hunter: World, Capcom drove the Monster Hunter series to global-brand status with a series-first worldwide simultaneous launch and international promotional activities, establishing the game as Capcom’s best-selling title of all time within a month of its release. In the six years since the game’s launch, Capcom has continued to promote digital sales, leading Monster Hunter: World to achieve a new Capcom all-time-record of 25 million cumulative units sold. Further, in December of last year Capcom revealed Monster Hunter Wilds, garnering broad attention with the announcement that the latest title in the series is scheduled for release in 2025.

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.

Really? Damn what do you love most about it?
Packed full of content, after years of MH games being stuck on portables it was so good to have a fully HD game with a massive living breathing world.

The game is super fun I put like 200 hours into it with my friend.

I've been a bug fan of this series since MH Freedom on the psp

Monster Hunter World managed to sell to hit 3 days sales of 5M+ with no PC version at launch.
Monster Hunter Wilds launch sales are going to be insane.

Well deserved insane success. Let's hope they improve MH Wilds visuals to achieve something similar to the level MH World had back in the time when released.

Because it looks like to me that they didn't achieve top tier visuals on purpose to fit the game in low tier PC and Nintendo devices.

  • IR 06.30.23 22.7m
  • IR 09.30.23 23.1m
  • IR 12.31.23 24.1m
  • PR 03.12.23 25m


As we can see, the game had already sold 9M+~ before the PC version even came out.
Based on what we've seen from Capcom reports on their console sales for their games, 90-95% of those sales would've been from PS.


I suspect that the Master Edition 25M figure is probably something like
PS 14.5M~
PC 9.5M~
Xbox 800K-1M~

I think Wilds will have more monsters on screen and larger worlds, so that's why the graphics look way worse.

Plus weather events like cyclones.
