The game's launch was met with significant attention, as reported by SteamDB, with Monster Hunter Wilds reaching over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug
In response to player feedback, Capcom has released a critical update for Monster Hunter Wilds. On March 4, 2025, Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced via Twitter (X) that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms. This patch addresses several bugs that were hindering gameplay, including issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking, problems accessing the Monster Field Guide, and a game-breaking bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are required to update the game to continue enjoying online play.
While this update has resolved some of the more pressing issues, certain bugs remain unaddressed. These include a network error triggered when players use an SOS flare after starting a quest, and issues with Palico's blunt weapon attacks not inflicting stun and exhaust damages. Capcom has indicated that these multiplayer-related bugs will be tackled in a forthcoming patch.
