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

Get ready to hunt! Monster Hunter Wilds, launching February 28th, 2025, is now available for pre-download on Steam. Clear 57 GB of space on your hard drive to prepare for this epic adventure.

Unlike many AAA games, Monster Hunter Wilds will launch globally on the same day – no early access here. Everyone starts together! Choosing between the Deluxe and Premium editions is easy; they primarily offer cosmetic enhancements, so pick the one that best suits your style.

Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts an impressive 89/100 Metacritic score (based on 54 PS5 reviews), with critics praising Capcom's latest addition to the iconic action-RPG franchise. The game retains its signature challenging gameplay, but now within a stunning, vibrant open world. An improved UI makes the game more accessible to newcomers.

The thrill of battling colossal beasts remains a core strength, enhanced by cutting-edge graphics and innovative features like dual weapon slots and focus mode. While these additions add depth, some reviewers note the combat might feel repetitive after extended play. The skill system, which links offense to weapons and defense to armor/accessories, is another point of discussion. Despite these minor criticisms, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an unforgettable experience for both veterans and newcomers.
