Capcom introduces Benchmark Tool for Monster Hunter Wilds on PC Performance Insights

Hey Hunters, Are You Ready?

Hey there, fellow hunters! Can you believe it? February is finally here, and that means we’re just weeks away from diving into the thrilling world of Monster Hunter Wilds. Mark your calendars for February 28, because that’s when your epic journey into the Forbidden Lands kicks off! To make sure you’re all set for launch, we’ve got some exciting news: the Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark is live and ready for you to check out right now!

What’s the Benchmark All About?

So, what exactly is this Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark? Think of it as your trusty sidekick in gauging how well your PC is going to handle the game. Instead of jumping in and hoping for the best, you can now watch a demo that showcases the game’s near-launch performance on your rig. Just a heads-up, though—you won’t be able to create a character or play through the demo yourself. It’s all about seeing how the game runs.

We heard your feedback loud and clear following Open Beta Test 1, where many of you expressed concerns about performance and optimization. That’s why we rolled out this benchmark—it’s designed to give you a clearer picture of what to expect when the game officially drops.

Understanding the Differences

Now, let’s clear up some confusion. The builds from Open Beta Test 1 and 2 are based on older versions of the game. They don’t accurately reflect the current state of optimization or performance you’ll experience at launch. In fact, Open Beta Test 2 is essentially the same older build, just with a bit more content, like Arkveld and Gypceros. So, if you’re looking for performance improvements, you won’t find them there. Instead, all the exciting tweaks, optimizations, and weapon changes will be available right from Day 1.

This means that if you’re using the Open Beta tests to gauge your PC’s performance, you might want to think again. Instead, download the Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark for a much more reliable insight into how your system will handle the game when it launches.

All the Details You Need

Ready to give the benchmark a whirl? You can grab it directly from Steam, and here’s what you need to know:

–

Install Size:

29 GB

Benchmark Flow:

It goes from the title screen to a performance check while displaying a demo, and then wraps up with a results screen.

After running the benchmark, you’ll receive a score based on your PC’s performance. Just a note: there’s no character creation here, but you can adjust various settings in the Options menu to reflect your preferences for when the game launches. Want to see how different graphics or audio settings affect your performance? Go for it!

And if you want to keep the benchmark running, there’s a Loop setting that will automatically rerun the demo after a minute on the results screen. Just keep in mind that the options you see in the benchmark might differ from what you’ll find in the final game, and any changes you make won’t carry over.

Also, be sure your PC meets the minimum requirements to run Monster Hunter Wilds; otherwise, the benchmark might not function correctly. You can find those specs on the Store page.

Wrapping It Up

So, to sum it all up:

– The Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark is live and free to use—download it HERE!
– It’s a great way to see how your PC stacks up against the production version of the game.
– You can tweak settings to get a feel for what you’ll want to use at launch.
– Remember, the Open Beta builds are outdated and do not reflect the current state of the game.

That’s a wrap, folks! If you’re eager to ensure your PC is ready for the hunt, we highly recommend giving the benchmark a shot. Whether you had performance hiccups during the Open Beta or just want to double-check your setup, this is your chance to get the insights you need.
