Capcom announces yet more great Monster Hunter Wilds changes that really won’t matter at all until the PC port is fixed

Monster Hunter Wilds is experiencing significant performance issues on PC, leading to "overwhelmingly negative" reviews on Steam despite being a standout title of 2025. Capcom has released updates to address these issues, including a fix for high CPU load and enhancements for Seikret mounts, such as increased turning speed and faster dismount speed. Additionally, improvements to the controller's D-pad navigation are expected to enhance user experience. However, sales have drastically declined from 10 million in the first month to under 500,000 in three months, highlighting the negative impact of the PC port's problems on the game's reputation and sales.

Analyst says stumbles like Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC fiasco are only getting uglier with intense competition: “A prominent streamer or YouTuber can single-handedly, by showing one screenshot, really impact what the perception of a game is”

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented on the "highly competitive environment" in the gaming industry, noting that players are increasingly discerning about game quality and content. He mentioned the risk of "bashing" as a potential threat to game reception. The game Monster Hunter Wilds, despite being the top-selling game in the U.S. for the year with 10 million copies sold at launch, saw sales drop to 500,000 in three months due to backlash over performance issues and post-launch updates. This decline also affected Capcom's stock prices. Gaming analyst Piscatella pointed out that the multitude of communication channels can lead to mixed messages about a game's quality, influencing its perception. Additionally, recent best-selling titles on the PS5 have been from Microsoft, including Forza Horizon 5 and Oblivion Remastered, indicating a shift in player preferences and market dynamics.
