Monster Hunter Wilds on PlayStation 5 is the Primary Platform

PlayStation 5 Leads Capcom’s Strategic Push for Monster Hunter Rise Sales Boost

Capcom’s boss, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, has revealed the company’s plans for Monster Hunter Rise, emphasizing the PlayStation 5 version as a key focus for the game. Capcom aims to set new sales records for the Monster Hunter series with Monster Hunter Rise. While the game achieved 10 million units in sales within its first month on shelves, the company now plans to further increase these already significant sales. Tsujimoto stated that Capcom’s strength lies in its ability to successfully sell catalog games long after their initial release. The company plans to apply this proven strategy to Monster Hunter Rise. However, sales for Monster Hunter Rise dropped more than anticipated in the weeks following its strong launch. This prompted Capcom to develop new promotions and marketing strategies, with the PlayStation 5 serving as the primary platform for these efforts. Tsujimoto acknowledged that Capcom’s initial marketing plan had targeted 10 million units in sales. After achieving this goal, the company then had to determine which platform would best support further sales efforts.
