Monster Hunter Wilds has got off to a rip-roaring start, attracting well over a million concurrent players on Steam virtually as soon as it had released. The long-awaited action RPG is, however, facing widespread criticism from PC players regardless.
Specifically, the technical condition that Monster Hunter Wilds has launched in on PC has been called out by many. On Steam, the game currently holds a “Mixed” user rating, with 48 percent of its 22,000-plus user reviews (at the time of writing) being negative, primarily for the same reason.
As you’d expect, that hasn’t gone unnoticed by Capcom. Taking to Twitter, Capcom has acknowledged the tech issues that many players are facing on the platform and offered a workaround. The company writes, “If you’re experiencing any initial issues with Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, please try updating your graphics driver, turning off compatibility mode, and then readjust your settings.”
Of course, the hope is that fixes for some of the game’s most pressing technical issues will arrive on priority, though Capcom hasn’t yet provided any concrete details on that front. The company did, however, recently confirm that the game’s Title Update 1 will release in April, bringing new content and features. Read more on that through here.
In our review of Monster Hunter Wilds, we awarded it a score of 8/10, saying, “Monster Hunter Wilds is a fresh start for the franchise, even as it channels a respectable chunk of Monster Hunter World. The endgame could use a lot more, but it’s still a top-tier action RPG with some incredible moments.” Read the full review through here.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Hunters! If you’re experiencing any initial issues with Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, please try updating your graphics driver, turning off compatibility mode, and then readjust your settings.
Thank you all for your patience and support!
