When you’ve been counting down the minutes to Monster Hunter Wilds’ launch, you may want to sit down tight for only a tiny bit longer, relying in your web pace: Capcom has famous bodily version house owners might want to obtain a “required” day one patch earlier than they will play.
As per a brisk PSA on social media, Monster Hunter Wilds insists all gamers obtain a 15GB replace earlier than the seikret-riding and monster bonking can begin.
For bodily version purchasers, meaning a bit of additional finger-twiddling earlier than it is playtime. Nonetheless, anybody that is pre-ordered Monster Hunter Wilds’ digital launch can get a little bit of a headstart – the 15GB patch is already accessible to obtain now due to the wonders of pre-install, which means a extra quick begin when Wilds goes dwell this Friday, twenty eighth February.
And should you choose launch instances to launch dates, Capcom has now obliged, confirming Monster Hunter Wilds will likely be accessible on Xbox Sequence X/S and PS5 from midnight Friday within the UK. PC gamers might want to wait a bit bit longer, nonetheless, with the sport going dwell on Steam at 5am GMT. Anybody who units their clock to PST, in the meantime, can technically begin a day earlier: Wilds is offered from 9pm PST on Thursday, twenty seventh February, whether or not you are taking part in on PC or console.
