"Pause Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide"

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* shines brightest with friends and other online players, diving into solo adventures can be just as thrilling. Here's a detailed guide on how to pause the game in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

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. Navigate to the Systems tab using L1 or R1, and then press the X button to select the Pause Game option. This feature is incredibly useful as it allows you to completely halt the game, even mid-hunt or in the thick of combat. You can resume play effortlessly by pressing the circle button or R3. Whether it's a quick break or an unexpected interruption, this pause function ensures you can step away without losing your progress.

Even if you're connected online, as long as you're in single-player mode with no other players in your lobby or party, you can pause the game at any time.

Can You Pause While Playing Multiplayer?

Unfortunately, pausing is not an option when playing *Monster Hunter Wilds* in multiplayer mode. If you have someone in your lobby or linked party, the game cannot be paused. In such cases, your best strategy is to position your character in a safe spot to avoid taking damage. Remember, multiplayer sessions feature monsters with larger HP pools, so extended periods of being AFK could hinder your team's performance.
