How to Pause the Game in Monster Hunter Wilds

by

In Monster Hunter World, some battles might stretch on for over thirty minutes. Sometimes, it may seem like the monster is withdrawing, leading you to believe you can take a break, but it’s actually regenerating during this time.

During challenging moments such as these, it’s beneficial to take a brief break from the game instead of quitting altogether. Fortunately, many games offer this option, and Monster Hunter Wilds is no exception. Here’s a simple guide on how to temporarily suspend your adventure in Monster Hunter Wilds:

1. Press the Start or Pause button on your controller, depending on the device you are using.
2. Once the pause menu appears, navigate to the ‘Save & Quit’ option.
3. Select ‘Quit to Title’ from the sub-menu that appears. This will take you back to the main menu.
4. To resume your game, simply re-enter the game from the main menu. Your progress will be saved, and you can pick up where you left off. Keep in mind that some restrictions may apply based on the game’s rules or settings.

Is There a Way to Pause the Game in Monster Hunter Wilds?

In Monster Hunter Worlds, if you want to stop the game, make sure it’s set to Online Single-Player mode. By default, the game operates in an online multiplayer setting that allows up to 100 players to appear simultaneously in the world or at camps.

As a gamer, I kick off my solo adventure by picking the “Online Single Player” option, either after loading an old save or beginning a fresh game. When reloading a game, I can establish a private gaming session that I’ll invite friends to join later. The catch? There’s no pause button in this online version; it’s strictly for solo play only.

In the single-player online setting, the game allows you to halt play from the main menu whenever you wish. Interestingly, even in this solo scenario, you can summon other players with an SOS Flare, which temporarily transitions the game into a multiplayer mode. Once the hunt concludes, the game returns to its original single-player online state, and you’re free to pause again.

Can You Switch to Online Single Player While in the Game in Monster Hunter Wilds?

If you’d rather not start over from scratch by restarting your game, simply approach your handler, Alma, and engage with her. From there, navigate through the available options until you find “Change Lobby Menu.” This is where you can switch modes without having to restart your game.

You’ll notice the “Online Single Player” selection, which will appear dimmed if you’re already in that mode. If you aren’t, feel free to choose it to change the game mode as you play.

As a gamer, right here in the same interface, you’ve got the flexibility to kickstart private gaming rooms, hunt down specific ones that suit your taste, or jump into a random one tailored to your current game progress or Hunter Rank. My buddy Alma is a lifesaver when it comes to these options, so remember her location!
