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
MH Wilds sold over 8 million units within just three days of its launch, establishing Capcom’s fastest-selling title. In a March 10 interview with The Nikkei, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto credited the game's success to its strong narrative focus and voice acting. He also highlighted how crossplay functionality helped unite players across various consoles.
During an earlier conversation with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto emphasized the significance of the PC platform and the team’s dedication to implementing crossplay. Recognizing that PC gaming is expanding rapidly in Japan and globally, he stated, "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."
Although Tsujimoto praised the game’s narrative, some fans remain unconvinced. Discussions on Steam reveal that many players found the Seikrit riding segments too lengthy and the dialogue unengaging. Nevertheless, these fans acknowledge that Monster Hunter titles are primarily played for their gameplay mechanics rather than their storylines.
