Quick Answer
As of June 14, 2026, the latest official version listed on Capcom’s update pages is Ver.1.041.03.00, released on March 6, 2026. That patch is mainly bug fixes, not a fresh content wave. For most players coming back or sorting out endgame priorities, the two update points that matter more are:
- Ver.1.040.00.00 on December 16, 2025 for Gogmazios, Arch-tempered Jin Dahaad, and more 9-star Tempered targets.
- Free Title Update 2 on June 30, 2025 for Lagiacrus, Layered Artian Weapons, and broader endgame additions.
Which Update Should You Care About?
| Your situation | Check this first | Why |

| You are already in endgame grind | Ver.1.040.00.00 | It affects what you hunt next and why |
| You only need the current online version | Ver.1.041.03.00 | This is the latest public patch listed as of June 14, 2026 |
Version Timeline
| Date | Version | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-03-06 | Ver.1.041.03.00 | Latest public patch, mainly bug fixes |
| 2025-12-16 | Ver.1.040.00.00 | Added Gogmazios, Arch-tempered Jin Dahaad, and more 9-star Tempered hunts |

Why Older Updates Still Matter
Title Update 2 Still Changes Real Decisions
| Feature | Why it still matters |
|---|---|
| Lagiacrus | It changes the monster pool, gear goals, and material routing |
| Layered Artian Weapons | Fashion and completion players still care about this immediately |
| Broader system additions | It changes what “finished” endgame even looks like |
If you stopped around launch and never came back, this is often the update that explains why your old plan now feels incomplete.
Ver.1.040.00.00 Still Changes Endgame Order
| Feature | Practical effect |
|---|---|
| Gogmazios | New hunt target, new prep needs, new material routing |
| Arch-tempered Jin Dahaad | Tougher prep checks for resistance, healing, and recovery rhythm |
| More 9-star Tempered hunts | Better clarity on what to grind for decorations, reps, and gear goals |
This patch does not change the early game much, but it can absolutely reorder your late-game priorities.
Returner Checklist
| Check | Why it comes first |
|---|---|
| Title-screen version number | Avoid multiplayer mismatch surprises |
| The last monster tier you were farming | See whether there is now a better target |
| Camp and resupply setup | Harder endgame hunts punish bad routing more |
| Primary and secondary weapon roles | Updates make specialization more useful, not less |
