Monster Hunter Rise was released just last weekend on Friday, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Earlier today, Capcom announced that the game had sold over 4 million copies worldwide in its opening weekend - a massive feat considering the game is only available for Nintendo Switch right now.

Monster Hunter World, which was released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, managed to sell over 5 million copies in its opening weekend. Comparing the numbers from both games, Rise's release is still a huge hit, especially when considering that Rise is limited to one platform. On top of that, Capcom has also confirmed that it will release Monster Hunter Rise for PC players sometime in 2022.
