Monster Hunter Rise sold four million copies at launch

Matthew Wilson March 29, 2021 Software & Gaming

Monster Hunter Rise officially launched for the Nintendo Switch last Friday and the game has already become a huge success, selling 4 million copies worldwide over its launch weekend. 

Capcom's announcement also points out that this number includes both physical and digital sales. For comparison, Monster Hunter World, which shipped simultaneously on Xbox One and PS4, shipped five million copies at launch.

Monster Hunter Rise has not been announced for Xbox or PlayStation consoles, but the game will be coming to PC in early 2022. In the meantime, the Nintendo Switch version has a roadmap of free updates.

In the months to come, players can expect more hunts, a higher level cap and other improvements. Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
