Pause Game During Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds
To pause your game in Monster Hunter Wilds, simply bring up the menu by pressing the Options button. Then, use L1 or R1 to navigate to the Systems tab, and press the X button to select the Pause Game option.
This feature allows you to completely pause the game, even mid-hunt or during combat, providing you the flexibility to address real-life interruptions. You can easily resume by pressing the circle button or R3. This is particularly useful as unexpected real-world events might require you to pause your game temporarily.
Even in online mode, as long as you're in single-player with no other players in your lobby or party, you can pause the game at any time.
Can You Pause While Playing Multiplayer?
Unfortunately, pausing is not an option when playing Monster Hunter Wilds in multiplayer. If you have other players in your lobby or link party, you won't be able to pause. In such cases, your best strategy is to position your character in a safe spot to avoid taking damage.
Pausing traditionally doesn't work in online sessions, and it's important to remember that monsters have larger HP pools with more players, so try not to stay AFK for too long, as your team might need your help.
And that's how you manage pausing in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
