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

Since its launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered sales records, selling over 8 million units in just three days, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a revealing interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of the Monster Hunter series, credits the game's meteoric rise to its compelling story and exceptional voice work. Additionally, Tsujimoto highlighted the game's crossplay feature, which has been instrumental in uniting players across various gaming platforms.

In a previous discussion with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the significance of the PC platform and the efforts put into crossplay. He noted the growing popularity of PCs in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." He further explained, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play with, and then [you can just] go online and hunt with your friends."

Despite Tsujimoto's praise for the game's narrative, some fans have voiced their dissatisfaction on Steam forums, particularly citing the lengthy Seikrit rides and what they consider uninteresting dialogue. Yet, these fans acknowledge that the Monster Hunter series is primarily celebrated for its gameplay, not its story.

Here at Game8, Monster Hunter Wilds has earned a stellar score of 90 out of 100.
