Pause Monster Hunter Rise Quests: A Guide

While Monster Hunter Wilds shines brightest when played with friends, solo hunts can be just as rewarding. But what about those unexpected real-life interruptions? Here's how to pause the game in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Pause Game During Quests and Hunts

Pausing your solo Monster Hunter Wilds adventure is easy. Simply open the menu by pressing the Options button, then use L1 or R1 to navigate to the Systems tab. Select "Pause Game" with the X button. This works even during intense hunts or combat. To resume, press the Circle button or R3. This handy feature ensures you can seamlessly handle life's interruptions without losing your progress.

Multiplayer Pause?

Unfortunately, pausing isn't an option in multiplayer mode. If you're in a lobby or party with other players, the game remains active. If you need a break, try to find a safe spot for your character to avoid taking damage. Remember, monster health pools are larger in multiplayer, so extended absences can put your team at a disadvantage.
