Monster Hunter: World, released in 2018, sold over a million copies during the last three months of 2024. World is Capcom’s best-selling title, with cumulative worldwide sales exceeding 28.1 million copies (as of December 31, 2024).

As reported by IGN Japan, , Monster Hunter: World had sold 27 million copies as of September 30 last year, which means the title sold over a million more units from October to the end of December. The upcoming launch of Monster Hunter Wilds was no doubt a big contributor to the boost in sales, but it’s still an impressive figure for a title that’s been out for seven years already.

In addition, sales of the Iceborne DLC alone went up from 14 million to 14.9 million in this period, and 2021’s Monster Hunter Rise sold an extra 700,000 copies, showing that the franchise’s catalogue titles are performing strongly.

How cheap does World go? Rise can be under 10 pounds.

Asia doing a lot of the heavy lifting I think, Monster Hunter often ranks high on the Japan digital charts for PS5, PS4 and Switch.

Quality title, well deserved. Now capcom, make more like World this and less snoozefest nintendo targeted spinoffs.

Best I’ve seen was a Fanatical Bundle where you could pick and choose between World, Rise, and their DLCs - 2/$10.

Good games sell. Very good games sell a ton.

And it runs better than Wilds does.

And it runs better than Wilds does.

And it looks better too

Edit: Roman Empire You can laugh, but I really think that World's art direction is 10 times more attractive than Wilds'. Wilds may have better textures and effects, but overall it just looks dull.

Well, making a good game does that. And you better be ready to see more sales after Wilds release as new players tend to buy older titles after their first MH experience.

Expect way more when it gets parted to Switch 2.

Wilds is going to shift so many PS5s in Japan.
