Capcom has released hotfix 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds across all platforms, addressing several key issues and improvements. This patch tackles various progression blockers and bugs, though it doesn't include performance enhancements.

Its Steam peak concurrent player count reached an impressive 1,384,608, surpassing titles like Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring.
A significant title update is planned for early April, promising a new endgame area and exciting new monster hunts.
