Capcom confirmed the news today. Also confirming the entire series has reached 62 million copies shipped.

Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, the massive expansion for Monster Hunter: World for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One*1 family of devices, including Xbox One X, and PC has shipped over 5 million units*2 worldwide.

The Monster Hunter series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. Beginning with the first title in 2004, the series established a new genre in which players cooperate to hunt ferocious monsters with their friends, growing into a mega-hit with cumulative sales of the series exceeding 62 million units as of March 13, 2020. With Monster Hunter: World (MH:W) (released in January 2018), Capcom has continued to enhance the series' global brand value by promoting existing user engagement through regular updates while encouraging lapsed players to return and newcomers to join with free weapons and armor useful for completing the game's story. This has helped drive shipments of the game to 15 million units worldwide as of January 2, 2020—the first title in Capcom's history to achieve this record-high.

Capcom added that the new mobile title Monster Hunter Riders hit 3 million downloads. With more updates coming soon.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is now available for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. A film based on the series is set to launch this September.
