While Monster Hunter Wilds shines brightest when played with friends, solo adventures have their own charm. But what if real life calls while you're hunting? Here's how to pause the game.

Pause Game During Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds

Pausing in Monster Hunter Wilds is easy. Simply open the menu by pressing the Options button, then use L1 or R1 to navigate to the Systems tab. Select "Pause Game" with the X button. This works even during hunts or combat! Resume your hunt effortlessly by pressing the circle button or R3. Life happens, and this pause function ensures you can seamlessly rejoin the action.

Can You Pause While Playing Multiplayer?

Unfortunately, the pause function is unavailable in multiplayer mode. If you're in a lobby or party with others, you won't be able to pause the game. The best strategy is to find a safe spot for your character to avoid taking damage while you're briefly away. Remember, in multiplayer hunts, monsters have increased health, so extended absences can put your team at a disadvantage.
