Monster Hunter Wilds: A Rocky Launch Despite Massive Popularity

Despite mixed Steam reviews, Monster Hunter (MH) Wilds boasts over 1 million concurrent players, reaching an all-time peak of 1,384,608 according to SteamDB. This significantly eclipses its predecessors; MH World peaked at 334,684 players, and MH Rise at 231,360. However, the game currently holds a "Mixed" rating on Steam, with only 57% positive reviews out of 54,669. Negative feedback frequently cites poor PC optimization and performance issues.

Capcom Addresses PC Performance Concerns

Capcom acknowledged the negative reviews regarding MH Wilds' PC performance and offered solutions. On February 28, 2025, the official Monster Hunter Status Twitter (X) account directed users to the game's support website, providing troubleshooting steps. These included updating graphics drivers, installing the latest Windows updates, performing a clean driver installation, and more. For persistent issues, users were advised to consult the official troubleshooting thread on the Steam community page.

Game-Breaking Bug Halts Story Progression

A critical bug is currently preventing players from progressing in the story. The absence of a vital NPC in Main Mission: Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down," is blocking progress. Monster Hunter Status confirmed awareness of this issue on March 2, 2025, and stated they are actively working on a resolution. Additional issues, such as the inability to unlock "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features (despite meeting requirements) and Smithy access problems, have also been addressed with hotfixes across various platforms.

Character Customization Locked Behind Microtransactions

MH Wilds employs microtransactions for character and Palico appearance customization. The "Monster Hunter Wilds - Character Edit Voucher Three-Voucher Pack" ($6.00) allows three character creation restarts across all digital storefronts. While basic adjustments like hair, eyebrow, and facial color remain free, more extensive changes require purchasing vouchers. A separate $10 voucher provides three edits for both character and Palico. Despite this, Capcom is offering a single free character edit voucher. These microtransactions, absent during the testing phase, were previously announced by Capcom.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For the latest updates, refer to [ttpp] (link to relevant article).
