Monster Hunter Wilds Update 2 Will Let You Toggle Off Glowing Effects

Visual Customization Coming to Monster Hunter Wilds

The official Monster Hunter Wilds team revealed this player-friendly feature via their official Twitter/X account. The announcement included a visual demonstration showing how hunters will look with and without the characteristic glowing effects that typically appear when using various skills and items.

This new toggle option addresses feedback from players who prefer a more visually subdued hunting experience without the sometimes distracting light effects that accompany powerful abilities and consumables.

What Will the New Toggle Option Include?

According to the announcement, the toggle will specifically affect:

• Glowing effects from activated skills
• Visual effects from consumed items
• These settings will work throughout the game world, not just in the Grand Hub

For players who enjoy the visual flair of these effects, they'll remain entirely optional. The toggle simply provides more customization for those seeking a different aesthetic during their hunts.

Community Response

The announcement has been positively received by the Monster Hunter Wilds community, with many players appreciating Capcom's attention to quality-of-life features. Visual customization options have been particularly important to veteran hunters who sometimes prefer a more grounded visual experience that focuses on the monsters and environments rather than player effects.

This update continues Capcom's tradition of responding to player feedback with meaningful improvements to the Monster Hunter experience, something that has contributed to the franchise's growing popularity and dedicated fanbase.

As with previous title updates, this feature will be completely free for all players when it arrives in Free Title Update 2.
