Is Monster Hunter Wilds' Co-op Worth the Struggle?

Monster Hunter Wilds just released and we jumped in directly to break down the co-op for you.
In our review video you can expect to learn more about everything that's been bugging newcomers and veterans alike!

If you’ve played Monster Hunter World or Rise, you know the co-op has never been perfect.
With Wilds, multiplayer is getting a major overhaul - but is it finally the experience fans have been waiting for?
Or are there still frustrating limitations?

How does it compare to World and Rise?

Wilds introduces some of the biggest changes to Monster Hunter’s co-op yet.
The SOS Flare system returns with a twist, lobbies now support up to 100 players, and a brand-new feature called Environmental Link promises a more seamless way to play together.
But does it actually fix the problems that held back World and Rise?


What’s the best way to play co-op?

Teaming up is smoother than ever, but there are still some restrictions.
Some parts of the game must be played solo, while others feel tailor-made for multiplayer.
Plus, the way progression works might impact how you and your friends experience the story together.
So, if you're planning to play exclusively in co-op, what should you expect?


What platform is it best played on?

With full crossplay between PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5, you won’t be locked into playing on just one platform - but there are some key differences.
Online subscriptions, performance, and matchmaking all play a role in deciding where you’ll have the smoothest experience.


Is it worth buying just for the co-op?

Monster Hunter has always been built around multiplayer, but is Wilds good enough to justify the $70 price tag if you’re only interested in playing with friends?
Some aspects feel like a massive step forward, while others still leave room for improvement.
And with a free Spring update already confirmed, will it be better to wait?
