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 has shattered records by selling over 8 million units in just 3 days since its release, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In an insightful interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto credits MH Wilds' phenomenal success to its compelling narrative and exceptional voice work. He also highlighted how crossplay has been instrumental in uniting players across various gaming platforms.

In a previous interview with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the importance of the PC platform and the significant effort put into enabling crossplay. He recognized the growing prominence of PC gaming in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." Tsujimoto elaborated, "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."

While Tsujimoto praises the game's story, some fans have voiced different opinions, expressing dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the narrative. According to various discussions on Steam, criticisms often focus on the lengthy Seikrit rides and what some consider uninteresting dialogue. However, fans generally agree that the primary draw of Monster Hunter games lies in their engaging gameplay rather than their storyline.

Here at Game8, Monster Hunter Wilds has earned an impressive overall score of 90 out of 100. This high rating is due to the game's significant improvements over its predecessors, including quality-of-life enhancements, addictive gameplay, stunning visuals, and a surprisingly compelling story.
