Capcom announced Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has shipped over four million units worldwide. This figure includes digital sales.
This figure is up from three million units shipped on July 13 and two million units shipped on July 5.
The Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion released for the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on June 30.

Sunbreak is a massive premium expansion for Rise. In addition to new quest ranks, locales, monsters and never-before-experienced hunting actions, players can enjoy new story elements in Rise as well.
Capcom generated attention and interest in the title prior to launch with dedicated promotions, including the Capcom Showcase—a global livestream digital event during which the company broadly shared information on its games—and the release of a demo version of Sunbreak for Nintendo Switch and PC, all of which led the title to surpass 3 million units shipped globally.
Capcom aims to continue growing sales over the long term, beginning with a free update for the game coming in August and continuing with additional game updates into the future.

Honestly, this game has sold phenomenally well. Especially for being on just two platforms. I'm sure that Capcom is very happy with these results, and I could see them continuing a Switch exclusive experience while also providing PS and Xbox with their experiences that are much more graphically intense.
