The eagerly awaited *Monster Hunter Wilds* has just rolled out its day-one patch, which comes in at a hefty 18GB. Players are encouraged to download this update to enhance their gaming experience. The patch was initially released on PlayStation 5, but Capcom is expected to extend it to other platforms soon. However, the absence of patch notes from the developer leaves players guessing about the specifics of the update.
Speculation among fans suggests that the patch may introduce high-resolution textures, which were missing from the review copies and could account for the large file size. These high-quality textures are essential for the stunning visuals that *Monster Hunter Wilds* promises. Additionally, given that the game was first released on PlayStation 5, this patch might include enhancements for the PS5 Pro, which Capcom has confirmed will be supported at launch. These enhancements are expected to significantly boost gameplay performance for console players.
The day-one patch is also likely to address numerous bugs. Despite Capcom's efforts to polish the game, several issues remain that need fixing. Including these bug fixes in the initial patch is a standard practice to ensure a smoother player experience.
While labeled as a day-one patch, pre-order customers can download it before the official release date. Players with slower internet connections are advised to install the update before February 28 to ensure a seamless first playthrough. It's worth noting that this patch, version 1.000.020, is not expected to include new content but focuses on improving gameplay and fixing bugs.
For those looking forward to new content, *Monster Hunter Wilds* will offer post-launch DLC. Three paid DLC packs are available for purchase, while two free content updates are planned. The first free DLC, expected in spring, will introduce Mizutsune along with new event quests. Another update in the summer will bring additional monsters and missions to the game.
*Monster Hunter Wilds* is set to launch on PC and consoles on February 28.
