Monster Hunter Wilds Patch 1.000.05.00 Fixes Quest Blockers, Among Other Things — but There Are No Performance Improvements Yet

Capcom has released hotfix 1.000.05.00 for *Monster Hunter Wilds* across all platforms, addressing several key improvements and bug fixes. This patch tackles various progression-blocking issues and general bugs, though it doesn't include performance enhancements. Despite a "Mixed" user review rating on Steam, largely due to PC performance complaints, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has achieved phenomenal success, selling 8 million copies in just three days—the fastest-selling Capcom game ever. It also boasts the fifth highest concurrent player count on Steam, surpassing even *Dota 2*, *Cyberpunk 2077*, and *Elden Ring* with a peak of 1,384,608 players (compared to *Monster Hunter: World*'s peak of 334,684).

A major title update is planned for early April, introducing a new endgame area and expanding monster hunting opportunities.
