Monster Hunter Wilds Gets PC Benchmark and New System Requirements

Monster Hunter Wilds PC Benchmark Released, System Requirements Lowered

With Monster Hunter Wilds launching in just weeks, Capcom has unveiled a PC benchmark on Steam, allowing players to assess system compatibility. Simultaneously, the game's PC system requirements have been revised downwards.

The benchmark tool, available now on Steam, requires shader compilation upon launch but is otherwise straightforward to run. This is particularly useful given the updated system requirements.

Previously, achieving 1080p at 60fps (with Frame Generation enabled) demanded an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, RTX 4060, or AMD Radeon RX 6700XT; an Intel Core i5-11600K, i5-12400, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, or Ryzen 5 5500 CPU; and 16GB RAM.

However, the updated requirements, as detailed alongside the benchmark, are significantly less demanding:

Recommended (1080p/60fps with Frame Generation):

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) / Windows 11 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / Intel Core i3-12100 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• Memory: 16 GB
• Graphics Card (GPU): GeForce RTX 2060 Super / Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB VRAM)
• Storage: 75 GB (SSD required)

Capcom states these specifications should deliver 1080p/60fps gameplay with Frame Generation. This represents a notable reduction in hardware needs.

Early benchmark results suggest improved performance compared to beta testing, especially with Frame Generation. However, Steam Deck compatibility remains uncertain.

The storage requirement has also been drastically reduced from 140GB to 75GB, a surprising decrease considering typical game file size increases.
