Detailed graphics presets for Capcom’s action role-playing game, Monster Hunter Wilds, across all platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2, have allegedly been leaked.
According to a recent Reddit post, the same Chinese datamining group that previously uncovered references to a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds in the PC version’s game files has now compiled the title’s full set of graphics presets, revealing how it is optimized across all platforms. These alleged presets are for the PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and even the unannounced Switch 2 versions, and they include an extensive list of around 300 individual parameters.
The compiled data has been organized into a publicly viewable Google Sheet, which breaks down how Capcom appears to be tailoring the game’s visual and simulation settings per platform. In the alleged Switch 2 version, complex simulations such as fur rendering, wind effects, and water physics appear to align closely with the PC version’s “Low” preset. More prominent cutbacks appear in areas such as global illumination, shadow quality, and other lighting-related features, particularly when the game is running in handheld mode on Switch 2. Interestingly, the data also references a preset labeled FastLoadMode, which drastically reduces visual fidelity across the board. This mode seems designed to prioritize loading speed and performance, while pushing settings to extreme lows. That said, the Switch 2 presets are likely still being configured, and they shouldn’t be taken as representative of the final product.
The datamined presets also indicate Switch 2–specific optimizations beyond cutbacks in graphics settings. For example, animated foliage seems to remain static until the player moves within a certain proximity, while distant environmental details and debris are culled more aggressively than on other platforms. There are also indications of custom handling of shadows cast in volumetric fog.
Monster Hunter Wilds is currently available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.
