Capcom‘s critically acclaimed Monster Hunter World has surpassed 20 million sales worldwide since its debut on PS4 and Xbox One in January 2018.
Interestingly enough, Monster Hunter World ranks as the single best-selling Capcom game ever, which is a massive achievement for a series that up until a few years ago wasn’t exactly a massive performed in the US and UK.
In recent years, Capcom’s promotion of digital sales has enabled it to realize long-term, global sales for its major titles.
With the January 2018 release of Monster Hunter: World in particular, Capcom was able to propel the Monster Hunter series to global-brand status with a series-first worldwide simultaneous launch coupled with international promotional activities, establishing the game as Capcom’s best-selling title of all time within a month of its release and being honored with awards the world over.
