Difference Between Friends vs. Hunter Friends

Hunter Friends can Add Anyone

'Hunter Friends' have the significant advantage of adding anyone without worrying about platform differences. 'Friends,' on the other hand, are limited to connections within the same platform.

Play with Friends on Different Platforms as Hunter Friends

If you often play with friends on different platforms, it's recommended to use Hunter Friends.

Friends are Carried Over to Other Games

'Friends' are linked to the platform's system, so you can play games with friends other than Monster Hunter Wilds.

Friends are those you Play with in Other Games

If you want to play together with friends in other games as well, it's best to use the platform's friend system.
