Monster Hunter Wilds Continues To Be One of The Most Popular Games of 2025

Monster Hunter Wilds is Popular Due To Its Story, Immersion, and Crossplay

Since its release, Monster Hunter Wilds has sold over 8 million units in just three days, making it Capcom’s fastest-selling title to date. In a revealing interview with The Nikkei on March 10, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto credited the game's widespread popularity to its compelling narrative and exceptional voice acting. He also highlighted the significant role that crossplay has played in uniting players across various gaming platforms.

In a previous interview with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the growing importance of the PC platform and the team's dedication to implementing crossplay. He noted, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around," and affirmed that players now have the freedom to choose their preferred platform and still enjoy online hunting with friends.
