Following Monster Hunter Wilds’ latest trailer reveal courtesy of Summer Game Fest, Capcom has been sharing more on what players can expect from the latest game in its hugely popular creature-battling series – confirming cross-play is in for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, while still insisting cross-save is “not possible”.
That information comes via a new update on the Monster Hunter website, which explains players on PlayStation 5. Xbox Series X/S, and Steam will all be able to match with – and become friends with – each other, regardless of platform. However, cross-play can be disabled if players prefer.
The news is considerably less positive for anyone hoping Capcom might finally pull its finger out and implement cross-save for Monster Hunter this time around. The publisher confirms save data – including the likes of game progress and paid DLC – will be managed separately on each platform. As such, it insists it will “not be possible” to share save data across platforms.
