MH Wilds has achieved phenomenal sales, surpassing 8 million units within just three days of its release, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title ever. In a March 10th interview with The Nikkei, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto highlighted the game's strong narrative and impressive voice acting as key drivers of its popularity. He also emphasized the role of cross-platform play in connecting players across various consoles.
Last month, in an interview with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto underscored the importance of the PC platform and the significant effort invested in enabling crossplay. He acknowledged the growing prominence of PC gaming in Japan and globally, stating, "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."
