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

Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered sales records by selling over 8 million units in just three days since its launch, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a recent interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer behind the Monster Hunter series, credits the game's success to its focus on storytelling and exceptional voice work. He also highlighted the role of crossplay in uniting players across various gaming platforms.

In another interview with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the significance of the PC platform and their efforts to enhance crossplay functionality. He noted, "PC is a burgeoning platform both in Japan and globally, and we worked diligently to make this a reality. Now, players have the freedom to choose their preferred platform and hunt alongside friends online."

Despite Tsujimoto's praise for the game's story, some fans have expressed differing opinions. According to discussions on Steam, a number of players felt the story fell short due to extended Seikrit rides and lackluster dialogue. However, many acknowledge that the primary allure of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than the narrative.
