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 release, 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, credited the game's success to its strong focus on storytelling and exceptional voice acting. He also highlighted the role of crossplay in uniting gamers across various platforms.

Last month, Tsujimoto shared with GamesRadar+ the significance of the PC platform and the efforts put into ensuring seamless crossplay. He noted, "PC is becoming a major platform in Japan and globally, and we worked diligently to make this a reality." He added, "Players now have the freedom to choose their preferred platform and can easily connect online to hunt with friends."

Discussions on Steam reveal that a segment of the community finds the game's narrative, particularly the lengthy Seikrit rides and dialogue, less engaging. However, these fans acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than the storyline.
