Monster Hunter Rise

Famitsu's Japanese chart figures are now in for the week ending 18th April, revealing that Monster Hunter Rise is still comfortably leading the pack.

While sales are naturally slowing down week-on-week, the game shifted another estimated 110,050 physical copies to stay ahead of the competition. Just like last week, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury remains in second place as the best of the rest.

Koei Tecmo's Winning Post 9 2021 was the only newcomer for the top ten this week, with the Switch version narrowly outselling the PS4 version in its debut week.
