Capcom has officially announced the global release times for the highly anticipated game, Monster Hunter Wilds. Players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can dive into the action starting at 12am local time on Friday, February 28, 2025. For those on PC, the game will be available later the same day. However, gamers in the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone have an early advantage, with access to both console and PC versions beginning at 9pm on Thursday, February 27, 2025.

It's important to note that if you've opted for a physical copy of Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll need to download a 15GB update before you can start playing, as per Capcom's instructions. On the other hand, if you've pre-ordered the digital version, you can download the latest update now to ensure a seamless launch experience on February 28.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest addition to Capcom's renowned monster hunting franchise. IGN's review of Monster Hunter Wilds awarded it an 8/10, commending the game for refining the series' mechanics in innovative ways. Our review stated, "Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge."
