This is it, hunters: it’s been a long, long wait for Monster Hunter Wilds, with five years somehow passing since we played the great World expansion Iceborne on PC. Sure we had a little hunting detour with 2022’s Monster Hunter Rise, but Monster Hunter: World’s successor is here at long last, and it’s pretty great. It’s also the first-ever Monster Hunter to debut on Steam at the same time it arrives on consoles, which means us PC gamers no longer have to walk around kicking rocks and staring longingly through the windows of our Xbox and PlayStation pals. We’re here too!
Monster Hunter Wilds is a massive game, and we have so much to talk about based on our experience playing in the lead-up to release: We’ve been hard at work putting together guides, a performance analysis, PSAs, and breakdowns of some of Wilds’ most complex features. We’ll be sharing all that here, along with live coverage of how Wilds’ launch plays out.
Keep checking back here for the latest on Steam concurrent records, amazing player feats, potential performance and server issues, and a mix of tips and series trivia from PC Gamer’s veteran hunters.
