Monster Hunter World Hits 27 Million Units Sold, Monster Hunter Rise at 16 Million

Monster Hunter continues to be Capcom’s biggest seller, to no surprise. Excitement surrounding Monster Hunter Wilds is obviously high, and if the numbers for its recent open beta are anything to go by, the action RPG is going to sell quite well (if we’re putting it mildly) when it releases next year. Until then, however, sales for previous Monster Hunter titles aren’t slowing down either.

Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Wilds has sold 27 million units worldwide as of September 30. That’s up from 26.3 million units as of the end of the previous quarter, which means the game sold an additional 700,000 units over the course of the quarter. Keep in mind that that total also includes sales for the Master Edition, which bundles the base game with the Iceborne expansion. Speaking of which, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne now stands at 14 million units sold, up from the previous quarter by 600,000 units.

Meanwhile, Monster Hunter Rise now stands at 16 million units sold. It stood at 15.4 million units previously, and has added 600,000 more sales over the course of the quarter that ended September 30. Its expansion, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, stands at 8.8 million units sold, having sold an additional 400,000 units during the quarter.

Total franchise sales for Monster Hunter are now at 105 million units worldwide across all platforms and all instalments, up from the end of the previous quarter by 2 million units.
