Monster Hunter Wilds offers a crossplay feature in both its beta version and the upcoming full game, enabling players on different systems to team up for hunting adventures. This means whether you’re on PS5, Xbox Series, or PC, you can join your friends in tackling the toughest monsters. In this guide, we’ll break down how the crossplay system works and how to connect with friends on various platforms, because it’s teamwork that will help you conquer the fiercest beasts in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Understanding Monster Hunter Wilds Crossplay
Joining a game with crossplay in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta is quite straightforward, as it’s enabled by default. The multiplayer setup utilizes a lobby system, where players are automatically connected to servers, even when playing solo.
To team up with friends or join different lobbies, navigate to the main menu when selecting your character. This section is also where you can change your appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. From here, you can customize your lobby conditions—either by looking for lobbies that meet specific criteria or by entering a friend’s Hunter ID. You can find this unique code in the “Hunter Profile” section of the pause menu.
If you’re playing on the same platform, simply pause the game and select the option to “invite a friend.” This will take you to the console’s user interface, where you can send an invite to your buddy. And if you’re curious about which gear to equip for your hunts, we have a tier list of the best weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds available!
