Monster Hunter’s western success will continue with the latest Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak sales news. The new RPG expansion is already attracting a large number of players despite the high entry requirements, as Capcom announces that it has currently shipped 3 million units of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak worldwide.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is the latest in the tradition of “master rank” expansions for the multiplayer game series. It’s essentially an entirely new adventure in its own right on top of the base game Monster Hunter Rise, featuring more challenging versions of the game’s beasts along with the new Sunbreak line of monsters, and requires players to complete the entire base campaign and upgrade to their Hunter. . decent way to just play.
However, that hasn’t stopped many players. While the 3 million unit count reported by Capcom is for units shipped, not units sold (meaning they’re counting units shipped to retailers, not what was actually sold to consumers), the numbers shipping rates are usually quite tight. t After all, I’m not going to order from stock that I don’t think I can move.
It’s also likely that a significant portion of that number will be digital sales rather than units on store shelves, given the nature of the Sunbreak DLC, though no releases have been shared by Capcom. The physical edition, which includes the base game and its expansion, is available to Nintendo Switch owners.
The expansion also caused a large number of players to switch to the Steam version of the game, with the tracking site SteamDB listing a record concurrent player count of 231,360 over the weekend of July 3-4 after the extension’s release. . Since then, it has continued to average around 100,000 players. As of July 13, 85 million units of this series have been shipped worldwide.
Considering that the base game came to PC later than its original release on Nintendo Switch and received a notable discount during Steam’s recent summer sale, it’s possible that many gamers are still working on the base game, although players who have access to Sunbreak will also be able to use some of its new features and powerful starter gear at the start of their adventure.
