Capcom announced a 15GB day-one update for physical copies of the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds. Pre-ordering the digital version allows players to download this update ahead of the game's launch on February 28th.

While the update isn't mandatory for offline play, according to the physical media advocacy account, "Does it play?", it addresses technical and visual aspects impacting the overall gaming experience. Capcom has yet to release official patch notes detailing the specific improvements.

Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest installment in Capcom's popular franchise, has generated significant excitement. IGN awarded the game an 8/10 rating, praising its improved combat while noting a lack of substantial challenge. For those curious about playtime, IGN's "How Long Is Monster Hunter Wilds?" page offers completion times from various team members.
