Hunters ride dog companions and swing on Wirebugs through a Japanese-inspired world, tracking giant monsters to craft gear from their parts.

Who can play

  • No split-screen on any platform.
  • Same room, own screens for up to 4 players on Switch.
  • Online for up to 4 players on PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch.
  • No crossplay between platform families. PS4 and PS5 play together, and Xbox plays with the Microsoft Store PC version; Steam and Switch players stay on their own platform.
  • Each player online needs their own copy.

How it plays

  • Up to four hunters take on a monster together, each with one of fourteen weapon types, and hunts are short enough to fit several into an evening.

  • Hub quests and the Sunbreak expansion carry the shared progression, while the Village quests are single-player.

  • On Switch, nearby players can also hunt over local wireless.

  • Everyone needs a copy; only PlayStation consoles, or Xbox and the Microsoft Store PC version, play with each other.
