These numbers reflect employment at Monolith Soft as of December 2024. So the studio could have employed more individuals since this report was released.

In December 2023, the developer reported to have grown to 264 employees. Which means the studio has slowly grown over the past year, hiring 35 people over the course of a year.

Monolith Soft is responsible for the development of titles in the Xenoblade series. This includes Xenoblade Chronicles, and Xenoblade Chronicles X, which is receiving a remaster for the Nintendo Switch. Additionally, the developer has provided support on Nintendo titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Xenoblade Chronicles also saw a remaster for the Nintendo Switch, which hosts sequel titles Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Sales for the series have increased over the years. In December 2020, Nintendo revealed that Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition sold 1.32 units worldwide. There is no doubt that number has grown.
