Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Rise has now shipped five million copies worldwide following a successful launch weekend.
While that same figure was reached within the opening week of Monster Hunter: World, that title was also available on multiple platforms.
To celebrate of the milestone, Monster Hunter Rise players can now claim a Commemorative Item Pack in the game.
Kamura Pack 1 includes 30 Mega Potions, 20 Well-done Steaks, 10 Large Barrel Bombs, five Mega Demondrugs and five Mega Armorskins.
The item pack is free for all Monster Hunter Rise players. However, an update is required before claiming from Senri the Mailman in the game hub.

There’s still more Monster Hunter to come with a post-launch update being released later this month. Spin-off RPG Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will also be released on Nintendo Switch and PC in July.
As reported in GamesIndustry.Biz, Monster Hunter Rise‘s latest sales figures means the Monster Hunter franchise has achieved lifetime sales of over 70million copies.
This puts it closer to Resident Evil, Capcom’s all-time best-selling franchise with 107million games sold since its debut 25 years ago.
In celebration of Resident Evil‘s 25th anniversary, the upcoming Resident Evil Village will include a mode called Resident Evil Re:Verse. The PvP multiplayer mode features playable characters (and enemies) from across the series.
As confirmed in a Resident Evil April showcase, an open beta for Resident Evil Re:Verse is going live this week from tomorrow (April 8).
Meanwhile, Monster Hunter Rise will also be coming to PC in 2022.
