Capcom confirms Monster Hunter Stories 2’s physical version does not require a download

The physical version of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will not require a download or installation to begin playing, Capcom has confirmed. All content will be included on the cartridge.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 will offer a day-one patch. However, it clocks in at just 0.5GB.

There were concerns about Monster Hunter Stories 2 potentially requiring a download after a certain notice was spotted on the game’s boxart. It appears this was an error, however.
