Monster Hunter Wilds Unveils Updated PC Specs and Benchmark Tool

by

Yesterday, following Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds February 2025 Showcase and Capcom February 2025 Spotlight events, they made available a PC Benchmark tool for Monster Hunter Wilds on its Steam page.

This device is created to allow PC gamers to check whether their computer specifications meet the massive system demands of Monster Hunter Wilds.

In contrast, PC gamers can now relax a bit more since Capcom has recently reduced the PC system requirements for Monster Hunter Rise, which are lower than what they initially were several months ago.

Now, you won’t have to spend time searching for expensive high-end graphics cards for running Monster Hunter Wilds on PC, nor will you need to look for large capacity SSDs to store and install the game anymore.

While it’s true that lower-spec PC components can run Monster Hunter Wilds, high-end PC components will provide a significantly better gaming experience due to the game’s increased graphical demands compared to its predecessor, Monster Hunter World. It needs more powerful graphics cards and larger storage space for smoother performance.
