Earlier at Tokyo Game Show 2024, Capcom held a stage presentation for Monster Hunter Wilds, where it showcased gameplay footage from the game’s latest build. The demo was confirmed by the English community manager to be running on the base PS5. However, this raised concerns among fans about potential performance issues on both the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X.
Currently, there are no plans for specific PS5 Pro support, but Capcom has stated that it is under consideration. Both Monster Hunter: World and its successor, Monster Hunter Rise, run at an uncapped frame rate on consoles, generally maintaining close to 60 fps. However, Monster Hunter Wilds appears to be more demanding, using the same engine as Dragon’s Dogma 2, but without ray tracing features. This, combined with its high PC hardware requirements, has led fans to worry about how well the game will perform on base PS5 and Xbox Series S|X console hardware.
Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled to launch on February 28, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.
