TL;DR

Capcom confirmed a Steam-only PC patch for Monster Hunter Wilds (Ver.1.040.03.01) set to go live January 27 at 6 PM PT / January 28 2 AM GMT, adding graphics and CPU settings along with VRAM usage improvements. The update follows a bizarre DLC-related performance bug that tests on Reddit suggested DLC-present builds run significantly faster; Capcom has not yet linked this to the patch, though details were outlined in December and two more patches are planned for January and February 2026. Online sessions will remain active during the patch.
