Monster Hunter Wilds has a huge debut on Steam, but there are some issues that are preventing many players there from enjoying it.

To verify Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, right click the game and select Properties. Under the Installed Files tab, select Verify integrity of game files. This process will take a few minutes and if it finds any errors or missing files, it will redownload them.

Monster Hunter Wilds is not yet Steam Deck verified. This doesn't mean the game can't be played on the Steam Deck. The "verified" designation is for games that have controller support, support the default resolution of the Steam Deck, no compatibility issues and support the Steam Deck's Proton system.
