How to Pause Quests & Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* is best enjoyed with friends and other online players, there's also a unique charm to playing solo. Here's how you can pause the game in *Monster Hunter Wilds* to enjoy those moments uninterrupted.

Pause Game During Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds

To pause your game in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply press the Options button to bring up the menu. Then, use L1 or R1 to navigate to the Systems tab, and select the Pause Game option by pressing the X button. This feature allows you to pause the game at any time, even during intense hunts or battles, giving you the flexibility to deal with real-life interruptions. To resume playing, just hit the circle button or R3. This pause functionality is particularly useful when you're playing in single-player mode without other players in your lobby or party.

Can You Pause While Playing Multiplayer?

Unfortunately, pausing the game is not an option when you're engaged in multiplayer sessions. If you have other players in your lobby or link party, you won't be able to pause. In such cases, your best strategy is to move your character to a safe spot to avoid any damage while you step away momentarily. Remember, in multiplayer, the monster's health pool increases with more players, so it's important not to stay away for too long, as your team may need your support.
