Capcom's president Haruhiro Tsujimoto has stated that the high cost of the PS5 has negatively impacted the sales of Monster Hunter Wilds, which managed to sell 10 million copies in its first month. While the PS5 was expected to be the main platform, the steep prices compared to earlier series games have made it difficult for younger gamers to access. To counter this, Capcom is implementing limited-time sales, such as a notable 20 percent discount. Interestingly, Tsujimoto highlighted the positive response to the Nintendo Switch 2, although there are no immediate plans for a Switch version of Monster Hunter Wilds. With the majority of the game's sales coming from PC, Capcom faces challenges as players encounter performance issues, prompting a need for optimization updates.

Will Monster Hunter Wilds be released on Switch 2?

Currently, there are no plans for a Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds, despite the series' history with handheld consoles. The performance issues on existing platforms also present challenges for a potential Switch release.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a part of the beloved Monster Hunter franchise, known for its immersive gameplay and extensive cooperative features. The series has seen previous successful titles on both home consoles and handheld systems. Despite the recent sales figures, a strong community and continuous updates suggest that Monster Hunter Wilds will remain a staple in the gaming landscape, but with a pressing need for improvements to maintain its player base.
