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

Get ready for Monster Hunter Wilds! Launching globally on February 28th, 2025, the game is now available for pre-download on Steam. Clear 57 GB of storage space to prepare for this epic adventure.

Unlike many AAA titles, Monster Hunter Wilds will launch simultaneously worldwide, eliminating any early access periods. Players can expect a unified global release experience. The Deluxe and Premium editions primarily offer cosmetic enhancements, simplifying the purchasing decision.

Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts an impressive Metacritic score of 89/100 based on 54 PS5 reviews. Reviewers praise the game's engaging open world, a refined user interface making it accessible to newcomers, and the signature challenging combat. The addition of dual weapon slots and focus mode adds strategic depth.

However, some critics note the combat might feel repetitive after extended playtime, and the skill system, which links offensive skills to weapons and defensive skills to armor and accessories, may be a point of contention. Despite these minor drawbacks, Monster Hunter Wilds is poised to deliver a captivating experience for veteran hunters and newcomers alike.
