Following Monster Hunter Wilds’ latest trailer reveal during 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 PS5, 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.
