This addition aims to enhance the communal experience in the game.

Additional camera options and other quality-of-life improvements are also highly requested, showing the community's desire for more personalization and comfort in gameplay.

Furthermore, there's a strong expectation for continued optimization and fine-tuning of Monster Hunter Wilds, particularly for the PC version which faced some challenges at launch.
