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

by Allison Mar 04,2025

Get ready for Monster Hunter Wilds! Pre-download is now live on Steam ahead of its February 28th, 2025 release. Clear 57 GB of space on your hard drive to prepare for this epic adventure.

Capcom's latest action-RPG eschews early access, opting for a simultaneous global launch. Everyone starts together on release day! Choosing between editions? The Deluxe and Premium versions primarily offer cosmetic enhancements, simplifying the purchase decision.

Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a strong 89/100 Metacritic score (based on 54 PS5 reviews). Reviewers laud the game's signature challenging gameplay within a stunning, expansive open world. An improved UI makes the game more accessible to newcomers.

The core gameplay loop of battling gigantic monsters remains a key strength, amplified by impressive visuals and new features like dual weapon slots and a focus mode. However, some critics note the combat might feel repetitive after extended play, and the skill system, linked solely to weapons (offensive) and armor/accessories (defensive), may prove limiting. Despite these minor drawbacks, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an unforgettable experience for veterans and newcomers alike.
