Monster Hunter Wilds Update 1.000.040 Fixes Ingredient Center, Story Progression Issues
[summaraize]
Capcom has released the latest Monster Hunter Wilds patch on March 4 on PC and consoles. While a minor patch that doesn’t bring in any new content, Moster Hunter Wilds update 1.000.040 does bring in fixes to the Ingredient Center and other story progression issues plaguing players since launch.
The download clocks in at 1.4GB on PS5, and doesn’t seem to bring in any performance improvements (sorry, PC players!) or any balance changes to weapons and monsters.

That’s about it. Again, Capcom has not said anything about the patch improving performance for the PC version of the game. Hopefully, we’l get that before Title Update 1 drops next month.
If you’ve yet to play the game, go read our review where we state, “Monster Hunter Wilds is a great entry in a fantastic franchise. While there are a lot of mechanics to consider, the game’s tutorials should help most new players to quickly acclimate and join the upper ranks of hunters in no time.”
Once another patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know about it ASAP. Make sure to bookmark MP1st for the latest game updates.
