The day-one patch for Monster Hunter Wilds has arrived, boasting a surprisingly large 18GB download size. While patch notes are currently unavailable, players are strongly encouraged to install this update for optimal performance.

The substantial file size is likely due to the inclusion of high-resolution textures, notably absent from review copies. This addition significantly enhances the game's visual fidelity. Furthermore, given Capcom's confirmation of PS5 Pro enhancements, the patch likely incorporates these optimizations for improved console gameplay. Bug fixes are also expected, addressing issues identified before launch.
While termed a day-one patch, pre-orders may allow early access to the download. Players with slower internet connections should prioritize installation before February 28th for a seamless launch experience.
It's important to note that this (version 1.000.020) update is primarily focused on performance and bug fixes, not new content. Substantial additions will arrive via post-launch DLC. Three paid DLC packs are planned, alongside two free content updates. The first free DLC, featuring Mizutsune and event quests, is slated for spring, with further content, including new monsters and missions, expected in summer.
Monster Hunter Wilds launches on PC and consoles February 28th.
