Monster Hunter Wilds Launches with PS5 Pro Patch

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch with a PlayStation 5 Pro-patch that enhances its performance significantly. The game will offer players the option to choose between a graphics-focused mode running at 30 FPS and a framerate-centric mode at 60 FPS on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. However, Xbox Series S will only allow gameplay at 30 FPS. Capcom has also announced plans to lower the minimum PC requirements, along with a potential release of a benchmark tool to help users assess their hardware's compatibility. Despite optimization efforts, the Open Beta did not reach the intended framerate due to rendering issues, but improvements aim to bring it closer to the targeted 60 FPS.

Monster Hunter Wilds offers two performance modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X: a 'Prioritize Graphics' mode that runs at 30 FPS and a 'Prioritize Framerate' mode that runs at 60 FPS. Xbox Series S players can only access the game in the 30 FPS mode.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest installment in the popular Monster Hunter series developed by Capcom. This franchise is renowned for its elaborate ecosystems and challenging gameplay that encourages players to hunt down massive creatures. With a legacy that dates back to its first release in 2004, Monster Hunter has grown into a global phenomenon, attracting a dedicated fan base and expanding into cross-media adaptations including animations and merchandise. The upcoming game is highly anticipated as it promises to deliver stunning visuals and an expansive world for players to explore.
