These findings were uncovered in the game’s Title Update 4 and indicate features like wireless multiplayer and graphical presets tailored for the Switch 2. Among the specifics, details about performance optimizations and local networking capabilities were highlighted, sparking excitement among fans.

The dataminers reported that the game's performance on the Switch 2 could run at 30 FPS in DLSS mode, offering a solid experience for players. It was indicated that the Switch version might even provide higher shadow quality compared to PC settings. Players have eagerly anticipated this port, especially given the recent updates and ongoing performance issues on other platforms.

Will Monster Hunter Wilds really release on the Nintendo Switch 2?

While there’s no official confirmation from Capcom yet, the datamined evidence suggests a strong possibility. The company has a history of supporting Nintendo platforms, and recent updates may pave the way for an announcement in the future, possibly during a Nintendo Direct presentation.

Monster Hunter Wilds, which debuted in February 2025, has faced challenges with performance issues resulting in poor sales after its launch. Despite Capcom’s efforts to improve the game, player frustrations have led to review bombings. The game is part of the beloved Monster Hunter series, where players embark on hunting expeditions in a vast world filled with mythical creatures. This upcoming Switch 2 port could revitalize interest in a title that has struggled since release.
