- Quick Answer: Street Fighter 6 is outpacing Monster Hunter: Wilds in recent sales, reaching 6.3 million total units following its June 2025 launch on Nintendo Switch 2.
The Street Fighter 6 hype train isn't stopping soon, as Capcom revealed the fighting game managed to outsell Monster Hunter: Wilds during the first nine months of Capcom's current fiscal year, which ends in March 2026, shipping over 1.6 million copies between April and December 25.
This is massively impressive for several aspects, the main one being that Wilds was released this past February, while SF6 originally launched back in June 2023. The big boost in sales for Street Fighter 6 is likely due to the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 port, which launched on June 5.
As for Monster Hunter: Wilds, make no mistake, it's still a massive success for Capcom, breaking over 10 million copies sold in its first month. However, the fiscal year breakdown does give fans a glimpse into the divisive nature of the game: after a historic launch, MH: Wilds only managed to ship an extra 900k units the rest of the year—a massive dropoff.
In any case, seeing Street Fighter 6 bring such a level of success to the fighting game division at Capcom should be celebrated. Even if you think the content drop cadence is somewhat slow (which I agree with). As for lifetime sales, SF6 is already at 6.3 million copies sold, inching closer to SFV's 7.9 million copies shipped.
For now, expect another massive year for Street Fighter 6, as Alex and Ingrid are set to clouse out Season 3, bringing hopefully a much-needed shakeup to the core gameplay.
