Among them will be the introduction of paid appearance change tickets, with 1 free ticket given to all players. English patch notes have yet to be shared, and we will update the post once they become available.

The previous Monster Hunter World update, update 1.06, introduced fixes for a variety of issues as well as matchmaking improvements for the Xbox One version of the game.

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One:

  • Fixed an issue that occurred when hunters had 31 or more Slashberries in their item pouch at the time of the last update (PS4 v1.05 / Xbox One v1.0.0.10) where the maximum number of Slashberries a hunter can hold in their item pouch was reduced from 60 to 30. This update will move any Slashberries exceeding 30 in your item pouch to your item box.
  • Made additional fixes to an issue fixed in the last update where, rarely, uninvited non-squad members could join a Squad Online Session, or Squad members could not join one of their own.
  • Readjusted the search algorithm when searching for another player’s session to join
  • Monster Hunter World 1.06 also added various minor bug fixes.
  • Added game performance and stability improvements.
  • Improvements for Matchmaking on Xbox One also added with Monster Hunter World 1.06.

Monster Hunter World is now out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions. The game will launch on PC later this year
