Monster Hunter World, the latest entry in the series developed by Capcom now available on consoles, has received a new update a few hours ago addressing some issues.

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.
Xbox One:
  • 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. A Nintendo Switch version, while not ruled out completely, has been described as difficult by the Capcom's CEO earlier this week.
