Overview

• Monster Hunter Wilds launched with widespread performance issues, particularly on PC, where players report crashes, single-digit frame rates, and blurry, outdated graphics.
• Steam reviews for the game currently hold a 'Mixed' rating, with over 16,000 reviews highlighting optimization problems despite the game's popularity, peaking at over a million concurrent players post-launch.
• Console versions, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, also face technical challenges such as stuttering frame rates and low-resolution textures, though issues are less severe than on PC.
• Capcom has advised players to update graphics drivers and Windows, but users have sought alternative solutions, such as disabling frame generation or updating DLSS manually, with mixed results.
• The game's struggles follow a similar pattern seen in last year’s Dragon’s Dogma 2, another Capcom title criticized for poor optimization, raising concerns about the RE Engine's performance in open-world games.
