"Monster Hunter Wilds--a game that attempts to continue World's legacy of franchise approachability--launched on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in February of 2025. It sold more than 10 million copies in the first month of release, reaching tons of new players."
"Monster Hunter is now a "forever game" akin to Pokémon or Destiny for many players--the kind of game you could easily put thousands of hours into that also boasts a vibrant community of die-hard fans. Monster Hunter has been around since 2004, but since most players outside Japan jumped on at World, there are likely many fans curious about the Monster Hunter games that came before it."
Monster Hunter became globally prominent after 2018's Monster Hunter World, which broadened the series' accessibility. Monster Hunter Wilds launched on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in February 2025 and sold more than 10 million copies in its first month, attracting many new players. Wilds divided longtime fans, with many calling it a limited experience that caters too much to casual players. The franchise functions as a long-term "forever game" with a vibrant, dedicated community and thousands of potential play hours. Only mainline Monster Hunter games released in North America and Europe are considered, with spin-offs like Monster Hunter Stories excluded.
