Capcom Releases Benchmark Tool and Lowers Monster Hunter Wilds PC Requirements

Despite reduced system specs, the benchmark reveals performance struggles on low-end PCs and the Steam Deck.

Capcom has lowered the minimum and recommended PC specifications for Monster Hunter Wilds, reducing CPU, GPU, and storage requirements ahead of its February 28 release.
A free 26GB benchmarking tool is now available on Steam, allowing players to evaluate how the game will perform on their systems.
The benchmark results indicate significant performance issues on lower-end PCs and the Steam Deck, even with upscaling and frame generation enabled.
While newer GPUs like the RTX 4060 and above show improved performance, older hardware struggles to maintain playable frame rates, especially during demanding scenes.
Capcom has promised further optimizations for the full release, though the second beta launching February 6 will not reflect these changes.
