Capcom has released a new Title Update for Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (via Steam).
The free update makes a ton of changes to the game, especially on PC, where Capcom is trying to turn the Negative Steam reviews into a positive.
As part of the latest update, new monsters Lagiacrus and Seregios have been added to the game. In order to encounter the monsters, players must reach Hunter Rank 31 or above and complete the main mission “A World Turned Upside Down”.
Elsewhere, fans can now swap between Handlers, while Mina joins the crew of Support Hunters.
Needless to say, fans can also expect countless gameplay tweaks and bug fixes, not to mention improvements to things like Photo Mode.

Bases and Facilities
• Added item boxes outside of the hunter’s tent in each base camp and the Grand Hub.

• Barrel Bowling now has additional reward slots, as well as new special arrangements for seasonal events. Barrel Bowling Bombs during seasonal events also behave differently than normal Large Barrel Bombs, making for a unique challenge.

Miscellaneous
• The extra mission “Trembling Blue Currents” has been added. (This mission becomes available after leaving the Scarlet Forest and going to another locale, after having completed the main mission “A World Turned Upside Down” and the side mission “Forest Doshaguma.”)
• The extra mission “Clear with a Chance of Sandstorm” has been added. (This mission becomes available after having completed the main mission “A World Turned Upside Down.”)
• The side mission “New Fashion, Old Feelings” has been added. (This mission becomes available after having completed the main mission “A World Turned Upside Down” and the side mission “Smithy’s Seal of Quality.”)
• A new area has been added to the Scarlet Forest. (This area becomes available at a certain point in the extra mission Trembling Blue Currents.)
• A new key dialogue has been added for Ferdinand in the Windward Plains Base Camp. Speak with him and complete the conditions to get a new pendant.

• NVIDIA DLSS now supported for multi-frame generation in the frame generation graphics settings. If you are using an NVIDIA RTX 5000 series or higher, you can set the frame increase to 2-4 times, or to “NVIDIA DLSS Auto” which dynamically turns the frame generation function on or off depending on the load.
• The upscaling and frame generation settings in the graphics settings have been separated, so frame generation can now be set regardless of the upscaling setting. For example, with NVIDIA RTX 3000 hardware, you could potentially choose NVIDIA DLSS upscaling with AMD FSR frame generation, and other similar mixed settings.
