Monster Hunter Wilds Faces Backlash as Performance Issues Ignite Fan Frustration
Hey everyone, let’s talk about something that's been causing a lot of buzz in the gaming community lately— Monster Hunter Wilds . Now, when this game launched, it was riding a massive wave of hype. It even beat Monster Hunter World ’s launch numbers in the US by a whopping 40%. That's huge. But fast-forward to now, and things aren't looking so hot—especially on PC.
Over the past month, Monster Hunter Wilds has taken a serious hit on Steam. Recent user reviews have plummeted to a "Mostly Negative" status, with about 75% of them giving it a thumbs down. That’s right—three out of four players are unhappy. The overall rating has slipped to "Mixed", and considering the sheer number of reviews—over 136,000—that's saying a lot.

So what’s going on? The core issue seems to be performance. Players are reporting persistent problems with framerate, lag, and general instability. And get this—some users claim that the recent update, which was supposed to fix things, actually made them worse. One player described the experience as playing a slideshow, dropping from a stable 60 FPS at launch to just 15 FPS now. Others are calling it "poo poo performance"—not exactly glowing feedback.
Reddit threads are filled with similar complaints. Many players point out that the PC port just feels... broken. There's a mention that clearing and recompiling shader caches has helped a few people, but that's not a fix—more like a workaround for those who are desperate.
Ironically, despite all this, Monster Hunter Wilds is still selling strong, and it's even helped boost sales of older Monster Hunter titles. It's like fans are so hooked on the franchise, they're retreating to past games just to get a smoother experience. That’s dedication—but also a red flag for Capcom.
Capcom did promise performance fixes and buffs to various weapons, including the underpowered hammer. But right now, the frustration is real. When a game with this much potential is let down by technical issues, especially months after release, it's more than just disappointing—it’s infuriating for players who invested time and money.
At the end of the day, players don’t just want new monsters and layered gear—they want a game that works . And until Capcom delivers that, Monster Hunter Wilds will continue to be a wild ride for all the wrong reasons.
