The Preload Times for Monster Hunter Wilds Before Release Day Here
Monster Hunter Wilds, arguably the biggest game of the year thus far, is getting ready for release on Friday, February 28. However, there is an alternative that you can do before then, which is to pre-load the game before it arrives. This way, you may start playing right away without having to wait for a large file to download.
The Monster Hunter Wilds global preload times, which Capcom has finally made public, are quite simple to recall:
- PC/Steam and Xbox Series X/S on February 25 at 9 PM PT worldwide
- PS5: 48 hours before to each region’s launch
What time does each region’s Game launch occur?
When it gets closer to launch, I’ll probably go back and repost these, but in the meantime, if you want to know everything in advance so you can plan your day off or whatever else, here they are:

Thus, once more, the fortunate West Coast gets to spend a few hours each day playing the game before going to bed. Even though I would really like to play, I doubt I will boot it up around midnight here on the East Coast. At least for the first half of this year, Monster Hunter Wilds is likely to be the most popular game. Naturally, there will be a new Call of Duty in the fall of this year, along with the purported releases of Fable and Grand Theft Auto 6, but regardless of what their studios say, I would wager that both of those games will be postponed until 2026.
In any event, early testing of Monster Hunter Wilds has yielded positive results, and this will be a huge launch. Preload that, then pay attention.
