Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection has surpassed 1 million copies sold worldwide, reaching the milestone less than eight months after its March 13, 2026, launch. The achievement brings cumulative sales of the Monster Hunter Stories franchise to more than 4.5 million units.
The turn-based RPG was released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Developed using Capcom’s RE Engine, the game continues the spin-off series’ focus on monster companionship and turn-based battles rather than the real-time action of the mainline Monster Hunter games.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection follows a conflict between the rival kingdoms of Azuria and Vermeil as a growing environmental disaster known as the “Crystal Encroachment” threatens the region. The story also revolves around twin Rathalos, which play an important role in the conflict.
The latest entry expands on the gameplay systems established in earlier titles, including turn-based combat and monster riding. It also introduces revised monstie-breeding mechanics and habitat restoration features.
The Monster Hunter Stories series began in 2016 with the original Nintendo 3DS release, which developed a dedicated following despite operating on a smaller scale than Capcom’s mainline action RPG franchise.
Its sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, launched in 2021 and reached a wider audience through releases on Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4. The game has since sold more than 2.7 million copies worldwide.
With Twisted Reflection now exceeding 1 million units, total sales across the Monster Hunter Stories franchise have surpassed 4.5 million copies worldwide.
