Monster Hunter Wilds’ unstoppable success has earned it over eight million sales in just three days, making it the fastest-selling game in publisher Capcom’s history.
The publisher failed to provide any additional information about the game’s performance in its press release, so we’ll need to await further announcements to understand how it performed specifically on the PS5, and how it’s faring in various different countries.
We already know the game topped the physical sales charts in the UK, and presumably it’s done extraordinarily well in its native Japan, although we won’t get retail data until Famitsu publishes its findings later in the week.

But to put these numbers in to perspective, Chinese giga hit Black Myth: Wukong sold 10 million copies in a similar timeframe. God of War Ragnarok, meanwhile, sold 5.1 million units in its launch week – although it did so on just PS5 and PS4.
Capcom said it “remains committed to providing the best possible game development capabilities in order to create highly original game titles that meet the expectations of all users”.
