It's been just over a month since Monster Hunter Wilds launched on PS5, and the action RPG's right back in the spotlight thanks to Title Update 1.
This first major patch adds new monsters, new quests, a new multiplayer hub, and more, tempting lapsed players back into the creature-crushing fold. And based on how quickly Wilds' servers crumbled following the update's release, we're confident that it's been a success.
But has Title Update 1 brought you back to Monster Hunter Wilds? That's question we're here to ask.
You may remember that Wilds was initially criticised for an overall lack of challenge. Veteran players complained that its campaign and subsequent endgame quests were simply too easy — and it didn't take Capcom long to confirm that greater challenges would be coming.
We would assume that plenty of players dropped off Wilds once they were done with High Rank's biggest battles, having crafted their ideal weapons and armour in the process. Title Update 1 is clearly designed to hook those fans all over again.
So, are you diving into Monster Hunter Wilds this weekend? Is Mizutsune living on borrowed time? Vote in our polls, and then prepare yourself for tempered trouble in the comments section below.

We need one more poll option "I don't even play video games." 😂
I'm still in the process of putting a new PC together specifically because MHWilds ran like absolute dogger on my old rig. I've been hesitant with prices bouncing around and the newer hardware seeming a bit wonky.
I'm mostly reading Nintendo articles on PushY!
But yes, diving back in tonight with my friends to clear TU1
Yes I am still playing MH Wilds but I don’t have many hours on it right now as I’m also playing a few other games as well so it’s mostly when I get the chance to hop on MH
Haven't played in a few weeks since completing the game, will jump back on with every new update but I doubt the new content will keep me busy for more than one weekend.
I'm 72 hrs in and I've been playing since launch. I love it! Looking forward to partying up tonight and hunt Zoh Shia.
@UltimateOtaku91 So you haven't touched HR? That's the main game.
@DennisReynolds
The story continues in HR
@DennisReynolds Yes I've done HR as well, there literally no more story for me to do now, just a grind get armor and weapons that I haven't got but there no point as they aren't as good as the ones I have.
@UltimateOtaku91 Ahh fair enough. I've largely been grinding out Decs since i finished the story.
275k playing on steam right now (4th) Looks like it’s still going very well. For comparison shadows is sitting at 21k (74th) and that game is much much newer.
I'm enjoying the game slowly so only HR90.
This game never fails to give me the rush of excitement and satisfaction when I got home and jump into a fight.
I’m under 20 hours. Juggling between other games, working, and online school does that to ya. 😂
@UltimateOtaku91
Mizu and Zho Shia at least offer new play styles with their armors and weapons. They might not be the meta most efficient builds but messing with bubble blight is pretty fun for me at least.
I hop onto Wilds every other day to keep getting crowns so the update came at a good time.
I am not. i am waiting for performance and texture fixes. I haven't tested the new patch but will soon.
I've been alternating between MH Wilds and AC Shadows for a little while now, honestly these two games have made the year so far a great one for me, video game wise.
Really enjoying the grind at HR, crowns are a bit of a pain but still going for the platinum. Looking forward to hammers getting buffed, in the meantime I'm rocking switch axe plus longsword - one for elemental and one for status effect, tailored to whatever hunt I'm on.
I haven’t even played it yet, and I’ll probably still wait a considerable period of time to do so. Maybe an entire years worth of title updates, and jump in just before the expansion comes out.
I haven't started it yet. I was going to start last week, but my copy arrived a day too late and I started playing AI Limit instead. I'll start as soon as I finish that.
The new Zoh Shia is really fun. Not all that hard — esp. if you use the Guardian Arkveld set — but awesome visuals and love the different phases
I'm still waiting to see if they manage to do something about image quality on PS5 Pro.
I'll wait a few patches.
@3Above did it solo in 20 mins last night 😂
Got so close to being carted 😤
