Get ready for Monster Hunter Wilds! Launching globally on February 28th, 2025, the game is now available for pre-download on Steam. Clear at least 57 GB of storage space to prepare for this thrilling adventure.
Unlike many AAA titles, Monster Hunter Wilds will launch simultaneously worldwide, eliminating any early access periods. All players will experience the game's rich content together on launch day. The Deluxe and Premium editions primarily offer cosmetic enhancements, simplifying the purchase decision.
Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds currently boasts an impressive Metacritic score of 89/100 based on 54 PS5 reviews. Reviewers praise the game's engaging open world and accessible interface, making it welcoming to newcomers while retaining the series' signature challenging gameplay.
Epic monster battles remain a core feature, enhanced by stunning graphics and innovative additions like dual weapon slots and a focus mode. However, some critics note that combat might feel repetitive after extended playtime, and the skill system, tied exclusively to weapons and armor, may be a point of contention for some. Despite these minor drawbacks, Monster Hunter Wilds promises a captivating experience for both seasoned hunters and newcomers.
