The next day, they acknowledged another issue affecting XB1 players:
Both issues revolve around an inability to make a proper connection with Monster Hunter: World’s servers. Based on many reactions on Reddit, forums, and other communities, this naturally prompts players to question the connection to Monster Hunter: World’s servers as provided by their ISP.

How to Fix Error Code 50352-MW1 in Monster Hunter: World
Due to the lack of details provided by Capcom, there is no confirmed solution for how to to fix these issues. However, all signs point to them being out of the user’s control. These errors will persist until Monster Hunter: World’s servers stabilize and can handle the amount of requests being sent to them. It’s very common to see issues with serving online content for games in the first week of their launch.
The only possible fix lies within one of the aforementioned tweets, where they suggest closing the game and restarting it (or even your console). If this doesn’t fix the issue, don’t drive yourself crazy trying to tweak your connection to fix it. It’s very likely out of your control, and patience is the only thing that will solve it as the Monster Hunter: World servers deal with the surge in traffic after launch.
If you’re experiencing this issue, you have the options of playing offline or creating your own session. You’ll probably find that you can create online sessions and invite others to private sessions. Every now and then, you may be able to get into matchmaking and find yourself disconnected moments later. The effect of these errors and the server stability is very sporadic.
