While plenty of gamers are enjoyingMonster Hunter World, taking on beasts and crafting stronger armor, some are having trouble with the game’s matchmaking. Specifically, Xbox One players have noted difficulties teaming up with others and, in turn, are missing out on one ofMonster Hunter World’s newest features.
Suspicions about the matchmaking issues arose earlier this weekend and the game’s official Twitter confirmed things:
Xbox Support’s Twitter even took notice ofMonster Hunter World’s matchmaking issues:
Players were very excited that the belovedMonster Hunterfranchise was gettingcooperative playbut these Xbox matchmaking issues and the recent PSN outage seem to be are no doubt frustrating, especially withMonster Hunter Worldcoming out a mere two days ago.
The issue seems to be that when a player begins a game on Xbox, they have an option to either play solo, cooperatively with their Squad, or join into a session where other players are visible to find monsters with fellow hunters. This new cooperative feature was one of the game’s biggest appeals and players hoped it would work flawlessly upon release, but unfortunately, things have been less than stellar. While Capcom has yet to say what is causing the matchmaking problems, some are speculating thelack of a beta on Xboxhurt the potential for a flawless experience.
Even though Xbox One gamers are dealing with the brunt of issues, PlayStation users have not been off scot-free. Therecent PlayStation Network outagedid put a damper on launch weekend, if only for a few hours.
It’s a shame thatMonster Hunter World’s launch weekend was marred by a few problems, but hopefully, things will be fixed sooner rather than later. There is a lot to explore in Capcom’s latest title, and much of that content is even better when playing with a group.
Monster Hunter Worldis available now for PS4 and Xbox One, with a PC release slated for Fall of 2018.
