New Monster Hunter Wilds Patch Notes Revealed for Latest Hotfix

Monster Hunter Wild’s first patch is officially live, bringing numerous fixes to Capcom’s best-selling game and the newest entry in the Monster Hunter series. Fans can expect more patches and updates to be released as time goes on, but the first patch is fairly small considering the timeline of its release versus the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds. Some have expressed disappointment the patch did not address the performance issues plaguing the game, but are hopeful this will be resolved soon in another patch. Capcom has assured fans it is dedicated to supporting Monster Hunter Wilds, having revealed future DLC and a title update planned.

The first patch for Monster Hunter Wilds was released on March 4th and targeted known issues that prevented players from completing the game. Here is everything included with the Hot Fix Patch Version 1.000.04.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds.
