Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.000.05.00 Addresses Quest Issues

Capcom has released hotfix 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds across all platforms, addressing several key improvements and bug fixes. This patch tackles various progression-blocking issues and resolves numerous bugs, though it doesn't include performance enhancements.

Despite a record-breaking launch and achieving the title of fastest-selling Capcom game ever (8 million copies in three days!), Monster Hunter Wilds currently holds a "Mixed" user review rating on Steam, largely due to reported PC performance problems. The game also boasts the fifth highest concurrent player count in Steam history, peaking at a staggering 1,384,608 players—surpassing titles like Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring. This is a significant jump from its predecessor, Monster Hunter: World, which peaked at 334,684 concurrent players.

A major title update is planned for early April, introducing a new endgame area and expanding the monster hunting experience.
