Capcom has announced that physical copies of Monster Hunter Wilds will require a 15GB day-one update. Pre-ordering the digital version allows players to download this update in advance, ensuring a smooth launch experience on February 28th.
According to the physical media advocacy account, Does it play?, this update isn't mandatory for offline play. However, the patch addresses technical and visual improvements that significantly enhance the overall gaming experience. Capcom has yet to release official patch notes detailing these changes.
Monster Hunter Wilds, the highly anticipated addition to Capcom's renowned monster hunting franchise, has received an 8/10 rating from IGN. The review praised the game's improved accessibility while noting a lack of significant challenge.
