Monster Hunter World nears 20 million copies sold

Capcom is a rare publisher in that they publicly release concrete sales data for pretty much all of their games, letting fans know exactly how their favourite game/series is performing. The company has updated its Platinum Titles – revealing a number of new milestones.

As of the 31st of December 2023, Monster Hunter World continues to be Capcom’s best-selling game of all time, reaching 19.6 million copies (or 24.1 million if you include the Iceborne Master Edition) and helping to push the entire Monster Hunter franchise to just shy of 100 million copies – 97 million to be exact.

Speaking of series milestones, the Devil May Cry franchise has always been more of a cult hit for Capcom, with the franchise mostly residing in the shadows of franchises such as Monster Hunter, Resident Evil and Street Fighter. Even so, the DMC franchise has now officially sold over 30 million copies – putting it at Capcom’s 5th best-selling series (behind Mega Man’s 41 million copies).

It’s always interesting to see the disparity between Capcom’s big franchises and the rest of the publisher’s IPs. Considering the fact that Monster Hunter World alone has almost sold as many copies and the entirety of Devil May Cry, it’ll be curious to see just how many copies Monster Hunter Wilds ends up surpassing in its first year alone.
