Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on February 28, 2025, and fans are eagerly waiting for its release. The game has had two open betas that excited the fans more than ever. Monster Hunter: World was Capcom’s best-selling title of all time, with over 21 million copies sold, and the developer is hoping that MH Wilds will break that record. However, just one day before its release, the game received an update of around 15 GB on PS5. Many fans are left confused as to what this patch could possibly contain, and we are here to help them.

In this article, we are going to talk about the Day 1 patch for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Just before its launch, the Monster Hunter Wilds 1.000.020 patch went live for PlayStation 5. Some players suggest that the developer might’ve added new content to the game, but if this was the case, Capcom would’ve announced it earlier. There are no official patch notes regarding this update; therefore, fans can only guess. One reason why the patch was approximately 15 GB in size is that it contains high-resolution textures for the game. Moreover, it is being said that it’ll fix performance issues and other minor bugs.

The world of Monster Hunter Wilds is massive, and it is quite reasonable if the developer pushed a last-minute update for high-res textures, as some early review copies did not come with these textures loaded. The only way to learn about this update is to wait for Capcom to release the patch notes regarding the Monster Hunter Wilds 1.000.020 update. Those who have pre-purchased or bought a physical copy of the game can install the patch before the launch.

The Monster Hunter Wilds Preload is already live across all the platforms, with the release time inching nearer. The Day 1 Patch is available along with the preload. Furthermore, certain users can utilize the New Zealand trick to play the game earlier in your region.
