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 highlighted the game's focus on storytelling and exceptional voice acting as key factors behind its widespread acclaim. He also praised the game's crossplay feature, which has successfully united players across various gaming platforms.

In a previous discussion with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the significance of the PC platform and the extensive efforts put into enabling 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 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."

According to various discussions on Steam, a number of players felt that the story fell short, citing lengthy Seikrit rides and unengaging dialogue as drawbacks. However, these fans also acknowledged that the primary allure of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than their narrative.
