Get Ready for Monster Hunter Wilds: Pre-Load Now on Steam

Get ready for Monster Hunter Wilds! Pre-downloads are now live on Steam ahead of the game's global launch on February 28th, 2025. Clear 57 GB of space on your hard drive to prepare for this epic adventure.

Unlike many AAA releases, Monster Hunter Wilds will launch simultaneously worldwide. There's no early access; everyone starts together on launch day. Choosing between editions is straightforward: Deluxe and Premium versions primarily offer cosmetic enhancements, simplifying the purchase decision.

Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a strong 89/100 Metacritic score (based on 54 PS5 reviews), with critics praising Capcom's latest addition to the renowned action-RPG series. The game retains its challenging gameplay while introducing a stunning, dynamic open world. A refined user interface makes the game accessible to newcomers without sacrificing depth.

The core gameplay of battling massive monsters remains a standout, enhanced by state-of-the-art visuals and innovative features like dual weapon slots and a focus mode. However, some reviewers note that combat might feel repetitive after extended play. Another point of discussion is the skill system, which directly links offensive abilities to weapons and defensive capabilities to armor and accessories. Despite these minor drawbacks, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an unforgettable experience for both veteran hunters and newcomers.
