Capcom has revealed that physical copies of the eagerly awaited Monster Hunter Wilds will need a hefty 15GB update before players can dive into the action. If you've opted for the digital version through pre-order, you're in luck; you can download the latest update now and be fully prepared for the game's launch on February 28. This heads-up came directly from Capcom via a social media post.
The social media account Does it play?, known for its advocacy of physical media, pointed out that this update isn't mandatory for offline play. However, it aims to enhance several technical and visual aspects that could significantly improve your gaming experience. Capcom has yet to release detailed patch notes or specifics about the improvements this update will bring.
