▼ Summary
– Monster Hunter Wilds has received an “overwhelmingly negative” Steam rating due to over 2,000 negative reviews criticizing poor PC performance and lack of fixes.
– Players report persistent issues like crashes, stuttering, and visual glitches, with some claiming performance has worsened despite updates.
– Critics also express disappointment with streamlined features and monster fight difficulty compared to older games like Monster Hunter World.

Monster Hunter Wilds faces a storm of criticism on Steam as players express frustration over persistent performance problems. The game’s review score has plummeted to “overwhelmingly negative” following a surge of nearly 2,000 negative reviews in recent days. PC performance issues remain the primary complaint, with players reporting crashes, stuttering, and visual bugs that significantly impact gameplay.
Many reviewers note that despite multiple updates since launch, Capcom has failed to address these technical shortcomings. “Four months in, and the game still runs terribly on my rig,” one player commented. Others claim performance has worsened with recent patches, leaving them unable to enjoy the experience.
Beyond technical woes, some fans criticize Wilds’ streamlined mechanics and perceived lack of content compared to previous entries like Monster Hunter World. While the first major update introduced tougher monsters, veterans argue the challenge still falls short of expectations. “For a $70 game, it feels stripped down,” wrote a disappointed player.
SteamDB data reveals a steady decline in player numbers, with concurrent users dropping to just over 6,000—far below World’s active population. May’s Street Fighter collaboration failed to revive interest, leaving the community waiting for the next update, details of which Capcom plans to share on June 26.
The situation echoes Dragon’s Dogma 2’s rocky PC launch last year, which also struggled with optimization. With no performance-focused patch announced, many Wilds players are voicing their discontent through negative reviews, hoping to push Capcom toward meaningful fixes.
