The physical version of Monster Hunter Wilds requires a 15GB update to play
Capcom has confirmed a day one update for Monster Hunter Wilds
Players who purchase the physical version of Monster Hunter Wilds will need to download a day one update before they can play the game.
Capcom has also confirmed that fans who have pre-ordered the game digitally can download this update now ahead of the title’s release later this week.
The publisher said on X: “Picking up a physical copy of Monster Hunter Wilds? Heads up, an update to the latest version of approximately 15GB is required to play. If you’ve preordered the digital version, you can download the latest update now.”
Pre-loading for the game is now available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC via Steam. Capcom has also released an image detailing global launch times for the game, which is viewable below.
VGC’s 5-star Monster Hunter Wilds review called the game “a victory lap for Capcom’s golden age” and a worthy successor to the company’s best-selling title, 2018’s Monster Hunter World.
“Monster Hunter Wilds is confident, bold, and one of the best Monster Hunter games ever, thanks to its ability to stand on the giant shoulders of Worlds and improve it in virtually every way,” we said.
The first free major title update for the game, which is planned for release in spring 2025, will introduce the Leviathan Mizutsune.
