Monster Hunter Wilds: sales continue to fall

Despite enjoying a record launch with 10 million copies sold in a month, Monster Hunter Wilds eventually ran out of steam. The lack of new features and concerns about the game's performance clearly took their toll.

Unfortunately, the trend has not reversed and the decline has continued. According to Capcom, during the quarter ending September 30, 2025, only 160,000 copies of Monster Hunter Wilds were sold. This compares to 477,000 during the previous quarter.

By comparison, the title sold less than Street Fighter 6, Devil May Cry HD Collection, and Monster Hunter Rise during the same period. The game remains successful, however, as Wilds ranks first among the best-selling games in terms of revenue in the United States in 2025.
