Capcom has rolled out hotfix 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds across all platforms, implementing crucial fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
The latest patch eliminates several progression blockers and resolves various technical issues, though notably absent are any performance optimizations in the official notes below.
Despite its record-shattering launch, Monster Hunter Wilds maintains a 'mixed' rating on Steam, with PC performance concerns dominating player feedback.
The game's commercial success remains undeniable, having sold an astonishing 8 million copies within its first three days - setting a new Capcom sales record. On Steam, it achieved the fifth-highest concurrent player count ever with 1,384,608 simultaneous players, surpassing giants like Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring. For context, Monster Hunter: World peaked at just 334,684 players.
Players can look forward to an early April title update that will introduce a brand-new endgame hunting ground alongside additional monster-slaying content.
