Capcom’s upcoming action RPG, Monster Hunter Wilds, is set to take the franchise to new heights, and one of the biggest questions among fans is whether the game will support crossplay. The good news? Yes, Monster Hunter Wilds will feature full crossplay, allowing players across different platforms to team up seamlessly from day one.
Crossplay has long been a highly requested feature in the Monster Hunter series, and Wilds will be the first game to include it at launch. In previous titles like Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise, players were restricted to their respective platforms, limiting co-op hunting experiences. However, with Wilds, Capcom has confirmed that players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC will be able to hunt together without restrictions.
The decision to implement crossplay aligns with the growing trend in the gaming industry, where multiplayer-focused titles increasingly offer cross-platform compatibility. Capcom has acknowledged the rising popularity of PC gaming and the importance of an interconnected player base, ensuring that Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t divide its audience based on hardware.
How Will Crossplay Work in Monster Hunter Wilds?
According to Capcom, Monster Hunter Wilds will use a lobby based matchmaking system, where players can set up private or public lobbies to team up with friends or strangers. Joining a friend on another platform is expected to be a straightforward process, players can either search for open lobbies based on skill level or enter a friend’s unique Hunter ID to join their session.
Additionally, crossplay will be activated by default, meaning players won’t need to enable any special settings. Those playing solo will also be placed in online servers automatically, ensuring a connected experience even when hunting alone.
With Monster Hunter Wilds supporting crossplay, Capcom has addressed one of the biggest limitations of previous titles. The inclusion of this feature not only enhances multiplayer convenience but also ensures a larger, more engaged player base from the start.
As the game nears its February 28 release, anticipation continues to build. With crossplay, Monster Hunter Wilds is shaping up to be the most accessible and community-driven entry in the franchise yet. Whether you’re a veteran hunter or a newcomer, teaming up with friends regardless of platform has never been easier.
