Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter: World has shipped over 10 million units* worldwide following the release of the PC version on Steam and in combination with the home console versions of the title.

Monster Hunter: World, the best-selling title in company history, achieved this 10 million-unit milestone following the titles' PC release on the globally accessible Steam platform, allowing the game to appeal to a wider fan base spread across a greater number of regions, and in combination with continued robust sales of the home console version of the game even now, more than six months after its release.

damn, if only they'd released the game on the switch, it wouldn't have been such a bomba; oh well, im sure monster hunter generations on switch will save--oh, wait, ten million, you say? who could have guessed that a game with a huge focus on multiplayer and long play sessions would do well on computers? crazy.

I think my favorite comment in the old MH threads was when some guy said it would be better for Capcom to make MH5 on 3ds. lol. So out of touch. Glad to see MH where it belongs.

Finally an official announcement. Game is so good. Well-deserved.

Now they only need to fix the issues with PC version. And they need it fast.

I could piss all over the PC port and the unnecessary co-op hoops you have to jump through, but instead I'll just say, "Congrats." :|

Congrats, they need to up their GaaS game though. Also, fuck Capcom for never porting MH games on the Vita, because 'mah playerbase'.

World is MH5 in everything but direct name.

Technically, the game doesn't have good legs in Japan, but the rest of the world more than made up for it in a smash success type way.

Good chance they'll announce something at TGS? At least I think it's likely.

What the fuck happens to the WeGame preorders with the recent mess in China though? Because they were sitting on over a million sales there >.<

Great for Capcom. I wouldn't even believe that Monster Hunter World would be the best selling game on the series worldwide or Capcom's if you told me that before two years.

I gladly eat crow.

There is always a but here, would the next Monster Hunter Title achieve this kind sales? Would it foster a bigger audience or was all this hype for nothing?

Hirokazu Hanamura should get kudos for his forecast earlier in the year. Congrats to Capcom! Link

Oh my, so pathetic.

If anything Capcom betrayed Sony since MH started on their consoles, until Nintendo money hatted the game from Sony.

There's no such thing as "money hat" in those cases and no one betrayed anyone here in any of the changes between platforms.

So happy the franchise has made it to the big leagues and I can't wait to see what the second or third iteration looks like once the monster list starts catching up with the older entries.

I wonder if future titles will be this successful, I imagine a good number of that 10 million will not be returning for the sequel. I know I will of course, been a fan for many years, but two of my friends who picked up World did not like it, but another friend did.

Kudos to Capcom. Finally knocked off RE6 from the top.
