How to Pause and Stop Monster Hunter Wilds

by

The ability to temporarily halt gameplay has been a standard in video games from their early days. Nevertheless, certain games such as Elden Ring developed by FromSoftware lack an explicit pause function.

As a dedicated fan of Monster Hunter World, I can assure you that even though it’s an online multiplayer game, you won’t feel overwhelmed because there’s definitely a pause button hidden within the menus. However, as a beginner in the Monster Hunter universe, you might find it a bit tricky to locate. That’s why this guide exists – to help navigate the game more smoothly and make your hunting expeditions even more enjoyable!

It’s important to mention that in Monster Hunter Wilds, you can only take breaks from playing when you’re not linked with other gamers and are engaged in single-player mode. Pausing the game becomes less practical if you’re battling a monster alongside three other human players online.

How to Pause in Monster Hunter Wilds

  • To temporarily stop playing Monster Hunter Wilds (during a monster fight), simply press the menu button on your controller. Then, you can navigate with the left and right bumpers to reach the ‘System’ section. Here, you’ll find the ‘Pause’ option at the top of the list, just above ‘Options’.

When the game is put on hold, you won’t have the ability to move your character any longer, and all actions will, naturally, stop temporarily.

As a devoted gamer, to get back to my gaming groove on my PS5, I can simply press the Circle button, or if I’m playing on Xbox, I can hit the B button. It’s like returning to a beloved world after a brief pause!
