Monster Hunter is one of Capcom's biggest franchises and its fifth-generation title, Monster Hunter Rise, has been a huge hit so far. In fact, according to the tale of the numbers, Monster Hunter Rise and its expansion, Sunbreak, have combined to sell over 19 million copies.
Monster Hunter Rise came out on the Nintendo Switch and PC in 2021 with ports to thePlayStation and Xbox coming early this year. Capcom recently announced that the base game surpassed 13 million copies sold at the end of June.
Sunbreak, the expansion for Monster Hunter Rise, was also hugely successful for Capcom. The DLC sold over 6 million units since it was released last year for PC and Switch. Sunbreak was only released on consoles on April 28, so we can expect the expansion to sell a bit more toward the end of the year.
Capcom announced the milestone in a tweet last Friday as it thanked the Monster Hunter community for its continued support.
Just for comparison, Monster Hunter World, the predecessor of Rise, is Capcom's best-selling game ever with well over 20 million units shipped as of 2021. Iceborne, the expansion of Monster Hunter World, sold 8.5 million units.
