Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.000.05.00 Fixes Quest Blockers, Among Other Things — but There Are No Performance Improvements Yet

by

Capcom has rolled out update 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Worlds on all systems, addressing significant changes and repairs in the game.

In this update, several advancement obstacles are eliminated and numerous glitches are addressed; however, you won’t notice any enhancements to the game’s performance listed in the patch details provided.

Despite an impressive launch, Monster Hunter Wilds continues to have a ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam, primarily due to persistent performance issues when played on PC.

Despite its challenges, the success of Monster Hunter Wilds is indisputable. In mere three days, it managed to sell an impressive 8 million copies, making it Capcom’s fastest-selling game ever. On Steam alone, Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a staggering concurrent player count of 1,384,608, surpassing the numbers achieved by Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring on Valve’s platform. To put this into perspective, Monster Hunter: World peaked at just 334,684 players.

In early April, an update to the title of Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled, which includes the introduction of a fresh endgame location where players can gather resources and offers increased opportunities for monster hunting adventures.

To kick off your journey in Monster Hunter Wilds, we’ll provide insights beyond what the game tells you, including a comprehensive guide for all 14 weapon types. We’re also working on a thorough walkthrough and a guide on how to enjoy multiplayer mode with friends. For those who participated in the open betas, here’s a tutorial on transferring your Monster Hunter Wilds Beta character over.

iggn.ru’s Monster Hunter Wilds review returned an 8/10. We said: “Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge.”
