Capcom’s highly acclaimed Monster Hunter series reached a massive sales milestone on Tuesday. The company announced on the franchise’s X account that over 100 million Monster Hunter games have been sold worldwide.
“Hunters, you’ve helped the Monster Hunter series reach the milestone of 100 million units sold worldwide!” saidCapcom’s tweet. “Thank you to everyone for your support over the last 20 years.” The message then highlights the next entry in the series Monster Hunter Wilds, due for release in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Perhaps the NintendoSwitch successorcould run the game as well if its powerful enough, but that’s just speculation.
A Long History of Monster Hunter Games
The first Monster Hunter released on the PS2 all the way back on July 26, 2025. It slowly grew in popularity as positive word of mouth grew within the 3DS and PSP communities, and then it reached mega status when Monster Hunter World blew everyone away. Monster Hunter World accounts for around a quarter of this recent sales milestone as it has sold over 25 million copies since its 2018 debut, according toIGN. Its follow-up Rise has also performed well at 11.6 million copies.
