Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the major paid expansion for the main Monster Hunter Rise game, has now surpassed 5 million sales across the Switch and PC.
The company confirmed the milestone via a tweet (thanks, Nintendo Everything) and announced that a commemorative in-game item pack will be released in due course to celebrate.
Originally released on June 30th, 2022, the Sunbreak expansion brought new monsters, quests, weapons, armor, and story elements to the experience and has been supported with free updates since its launch. Capcom will additionally launch Monster Hunter Rise on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One later this week on January 20th, 2023, with the Sunbreak expansion following later in Q2 2023.
In our review, we praised the expansion significantly, calling it "a success in multiple ways, with enough that's new or different to make it a must-have expansion for Monster Hunter Rise fans". Check out our full 9/10 verdict below:

Completely forgot I have Rise. Man...yet another one I need to get back to. Loved what I played.
Monster Hunter not for me. Great serie. I do not understand it. Too difficult for me.
Is that Chichae with long hair?

Monster Hunter rise is much easier than past games I think, I manage and trust me I suck at these kinds of games
I skipped on Sunbreak, despite a bit of hype leading up to the release. I completed everything the original release on Switch had to offer, and had a blast doing so.
However, the group I played with dispersed, so I never got invested enough in playing the hardest content, since doing so with random people online is not as fun as doing it with a group of friends.
Base Rise was probably my last Monster Hunter experience; it's been a great run from MH3 till now.
It'll be interesting to see if they can add another million or two to the total with the PS/XB ports.
I purchased MH:R late because of my schedule combined with a backlog of games. I finally downloaded it near the end of November. It's been my #1 played game since. In fact, the only time I haven't played it, is the one time I fired up Mario Kart to try the new courses. I'm still very much enjoying the base game with much to do, before I pickup the DLC.
If Capcom is wasting their time porting this to other platforms how about port Monster Hunter World to Switch too, after all many devs already proved that the game could run on it just fine.
I'm working on getting all weapons types max out with no quorius crafting and it's taking more time than I had anticipated. Not doing that again. My backlog got delayed because of it. Just 7 more to go
@Serpenterror
"true" MH fans: No, the Switch is a terrible 2000's tablet and Monster Hunter should never be on a Nintendo system at all!
....Or something like that, lol. Anyways I would rather have an HD port/remake of 4U instead, or a remake of Freedom Unite, imagine that, lol
@Dom_31 yea, I remember those lines ingame, it's just we never saw what she looked like before her haircut and wearing her princess attire.
I know it's excessive nitpicking on a commemorative art but she also looks much more confident here than her receptionist self
@Dom_31 I should look up for those, then. I love this kind of silly unnecessary lore. Thank you!
Recently started playing Sunbreak
