Is Monster Hunter Wilds crossplay?

Hunt together.

Capcom has neglected to include crossplay in many of its past Monster Hunter titles, so some fans have given up hope that the next entry would have it. However, there may be a change in direction that lets us have Monster Hunter Wilds crossplay.

Does Monster Hunter Wilds have crossplay?

Yes, Monster Hunter Wilds will have crossplay from day one. The game’s official website confirms the feature, stating that all “players will be able to match with other players across all available platforms.” You’ll also be able to become friends with these players, no matter the system. If you don’t like the idea of crossplay, it can be disabled from the in-game options.

Crossplay is a significant boost to the Monster Hunter community as it allows everyone to play together, no matter their console or PC set up. It will also surely keep Monster Hunter Wild‘s community thriving for many years to come.

Is there Monster Hunter Wilds cross save?

There is some bad news to deliver you, however. Monster Hunter Wilds will not support cross save, at least at this time of writing. “Save data (game progress, paid DLC etc.) will be managed separately by each platform,” says the official website. “For this reason, it will not be possible to share save data across the different platforms.”

If you’re playing Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S systems, you’ll need to purchase either PlayStation Plus Essential or Xbox Game Pass Core to team up online. It’s certainly a benefit to play this game on PC, in this instance.
