Monster Hunter Wilds Gets PC Benchmark and New System Requirements

Get ready to hunt! Monster Hunter Wilds is almost here, and Capcom has just released a PC benchmark tool on Steam to help you see if your rig is ready for the hunt. Even better, they've also lowered the official PC system requirements!

The benchmark tool is easy to use; just download it from Steam, let it compile its shaders, and you'll quickly see how your system performs. This is especially helpful given the updated system requirements.

Previously, hitting 1080p at 60fps with Frame Generation required a beefy system. Now, Capcom has significantly lowered the bar. Here's what you'll need for recommended settings (1080p, 60fps with Frame Generation enabled):

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 (Solid State Drive required)

This updated spec should get you smoothly hunting at 1080p and 60fps with Frame Generation. Notice the significant reduction in required hardware, especially in the GPU department.

Early benchmark results are promising, showing improved performance compared to the beta, especially with Frame Generation enabled. However, Steam Deck users might still face challenges.

Another notable change is the reduced storage requirement. The game now only needs 75GB of SSD space, down from the previously announced 140GB. This is a welcome surprise, considering the ever-increasing size of modern games.
