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

Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered records by selling over 8 million units within just three days of its launch, becoming Capcom’s fastest-selling title to date. In a detailed interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of the Monster Hunter series, highlighted the game's focus on storytelling and exceptional voice acting as key factors behind its success. Additionally, he praised the impact of crossplay, which has enabled players on various gaming platforms to connect and enjoy the game together.

In a previous discussion with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the growing significance of the PC gaming platform, particularly in Japan and globally. He proudly stated, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." This effort allows players the freedom to choose their preferred platform and seamlessly join friends online for thrilling hunts.

Discussions on Steam reveal that a portion of the community felt the story elements, including lengthy Seikrit rides and dialogue, did not meet their expectations. However, many fans also acknowledge that the core attraction of Monster Hunter games lies in their engaging gameplay rather than the narrative.
