Monster Hunter Wilds has soared to new heights, selling over 8 million units in just three days and becoming Capcom's fastest-selling game. This remarkable achievement comes despite the presence of some bugs, but Capcom's dedication to improving the game is evident in their latest updates. Let's dive into Capcom's impressive accomplishment and the latest updates for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds Is Now Capcom’s Fastest Selling Game

Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has shattered records, becoming Capcom’s fastest-selling game by moving over 8 million units in just three days. Capcom proudly announced this milestone on their official website, marking a historic moment for the company.

The game's launch was met with significant success on Steam, where it reached over 1.3 million concurrent players, as reported by SteamDB. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the game's popularity is undeniable. Capcom credits this success to their relentless promotional efforts, which included showcasing the game at international video game events and conducting an open beta test that allowed players to experience MH Wilds firsthand.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug

In response to player feedback, Capcom has released a crucial update for MH Wilds. On March 4, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced on Twitter (X) that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms.

This patch addresses several bugs that were hindering gameplay, including issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as intended, problems with accessing the Monster Field Guide, and a critical 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.

While this update has fixed many issues, some bugs remain, such as network errors when players use an SOS flare post-quest start, and Palico's blunt weapon attacks failing to inflict stun and exhaust damage. These multiplayer-related issues are expected to be resolved in a forthcoming patch.
