Pause Game During Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds

Pausing your game in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Access the menu by pressing the Options button on your controller, then use L1 or R1 to navigate to the Systems tab. Select the Pause Game option by pressing the X button.

This feature lets you pause the game mid-hunt or during combat, offering a break whenever real-life demands your attention. To resume, simply press the circle button or R3.

Can You Pause While Playing Multiplayer?
