Monster Hunter Wilds PC Benchmark Released, System Requirements Lowered
With Monster Hunter Wilds launching in just weeks, Capcom has unveiled a PC benchmark on Steam, allowing players to assess system compatibility. Simultaneously, the minimum PC specifications have been revised downward.
Capcom's recent Capcom Spotlight showcased the now-available Steam benchmark tool. While initial shader compilation is required, the benchmark is straightforward to run and provides a clear performance indicator. This is particularly useful given the updated system requirements.
Previously, achieving 1080p at 60fps (with Frame Generation) demanded an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, RTX 4060, or AMD Radeon RX 6700XT; an Intel Core i5-11600K, i5-12400, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, or Ryzen 5 5500 CPU; and 16GB RAM.

A striking change is the reduced storage requirement. The game now needs 75GB of SSD space, down from the previous 140GB. This is surprising, given the typical increase in game sizes.
