Monster Hunter Wilds: A Hit on Consoles, But PC Players Are Struggling!

BBG News

Despite Monster Hunter Wilds appearing set to be a leading game in 2025 due to its success, its performance on Steam tells a contrasting tale. While the console version of Monster Hunter Wilds is generally smooth and stable, the PC version has been far from it, with players reporting various problems such as texture pop-in and frequent crashes. This unfortunate flaw in an otherwise successful launch by Capcom calls for immediate updates and fixes to the PC version, a need that is underscored by the growing number of Steam players.

Despite an impressive sales figure of over 8 million units within a week, and breaking records on Steam, the user reviews for Monster Hunter Worlds have resulted in a “Mixed” rating. A significant portion of these negative reviews focus on the game’s suboptimal performance on PC, which seems to be a recurring issue even among players with high-end computers. Historically, Triple-A console games often struggle with the performance of their PC versions when ported. To maintain goodwill from fans and prevent repeating past mistakes, Capcom needs to improve the PC version’s performance in Monster Hunter Worlds.

Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC Version Woes Explained

It appears that the main troubles players encounter when playing the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds revolve around two aspects: performance and reliability. The system requirements for Monster Hunter Wilds suggest that players should have powerful computers to run the game smoothly, yet even those with top-tier hardware are experiencing problems such as connectivity issues, frame rate drops, screen tearing, unexpected texture loading, and other visual discrepancies which seem to be non-existent in the console versions. However, what is more worrying than these glitches are the frequent game crashes that many players report.

For numerous gamers, trying to join a quest or post one within Monster Hunter Wilds often leads to the game crashing, which can be disappointing given its popularity in cooperative play. In addition to enabling Monster Hunter Wilds to submit a crash report, Capcom’s current approach involves players adjusting their PC and game settings, updating drivers, modifying CPU power settings, or even uninstalling and reinstalling the game as temporary solutions. However, more lasting improvements in relation to Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC performance and optimization are essential if the game wishes to maintain its momentum.

Issues With Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC Version Are Reminiscent of Dragon’s Dogma 2

Regrettably, the PC release of Monster Hunter Wilds bears striking resemblance to those who initially tried out Dragon’s Dogma 2. While it ran smoothly on consoles, the PC version of Dragon’s Dogma 2 faced numerous troubles with performance and stability, particularly for users running the game on its minimum hardware requirements. Capcom had promised to enhance the PC version, but despite this, Dragon’s Dogma 2 still holds a “Mixed” 61% positive Steam user rating due to ongoing performance issues that persist nearly a year after launch.

The game “Monster Hunter World” has been highly successful for Capcom, but the technical issues plaguing its PC version still require long-term solutions. Since updates for “Dragon’s Dogma 2” have been scarce, it’s understandable that players are concerned these problems might persist. Here’s hoping that Capcom uses the success of “Monster Hunter World” to prioritize PC performance improvements more effectively than they did with “Dragon’s Dogma 2.”
