Players blame the lack of a beta on that console<\/b>
\nAdding to the woes of console players this weekend, Monster Hunter: World \u2019s support team has acknowledged widespread matchmaking problems for the game on Xbox One.
Capcom, through the game\u2019s Twitter channel, told players it was aware of the problem yesterday morning. Xbox\u2019s support Twitter likewise noted the problems this morning.
Hello Hunters, we\u2019re aware of the Xbox matchmaking issues and dev team is actively investigating it, we\u2019ll update you as soon as we can.
The problem shows up whenever a player begins a game \u2014 they have the option of playing a private or solo session or playing a session where others are visible to them and vice-versa, and they can hunt monsters together. It\u2019s a big part of the game\u2019s appeal. There are some workarounds, such as direct invitations to a private lobby, but that experience is inconvenient and not the same.
Monster Hunter\u2019s subreddit came alive with complaints of matchmaking issues yesterday morning. The discussion then quickly pivoted to the fact Capcom did not conduct a beta test for Monster Hunter: World on Xbox One; the three-day beta in early December was for PlayStation 4 only \u2014 and PS4 users have had problems of their own with online services since Friday anyway.
Online multiplayer is a significant component of Monster Hunter: World, which Polygon scored a 9 in our review on Friday. \u201cOverall, the transition between multiplayer quests is seamless,\u201d said our review. \u201cThis is clutch, since more players open up the game for more sneaky ways of capturing or killing the monster with traps or bombs that are harder to execute on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n
