Monster Hunter Wilds: Lower Minimum PC Specs on the Horizon

Console Performance Goals Unveiled

Target console performance was revealed: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will offer "Prioritize Graphics" (4K, 30fps) and "Prioritize Framerate" (1080p, 60fps) modes. Xbox Series S will run natively at 1080p, 30fps. A framerate mode rendering bug has been resolved, resulting in performance gains.

While enhanced visuals are promised for the PS5 Pro version, specific details remain undisclosed.

PC performance will vary based on hardware and settings. While initial specs were previously released, Capcom is actively working to reduce minimum requirements for broader accessibility. Further details will be shared closer to launch, with a potential PC benchmark tool also under consideration.

A Second Open Beta Test?

The possibility of a second open beta test is being explored, primarily to allow players who missed the first opportunity to experience the game. However, any changes discussed in the recent stream will not be included in this potential second beta and will only be available in the final release.

The livestream also covered adjustments to hitstop and sound effects for increased impact, friendly fire mitigation, and weapon refinements, particularly for the Insect Glaive, Switch Axe, and Lance.
