Capcom introduces PC Benchmark Tool for Monster Hunter Wilds Performance Insights

Hello, Hunters!

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Can you believe it? February is here, and that means we’re just a heartbeat away from diving into the thrilling world of Monster Hunter Wilds on February 28. Excitement is in the air, and to make sure you’re fully prepared for this epic journey into the Forbidden Lands, we’ve got some fantastic news. The much-anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark is officially live, and you can check it out right now!

What’s the Benchmark All About?

So, what exactly is this Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark? Think of it as your personal performance guide for the game. It’s designed specifically for our PC players, giving you a sneak peek into how your rig will handle the game when it launches. You’ll get to watch a demo that showcases the game’s performance, but just a heads up—you won’t be able to play it yourself or dive into character creation just yet.

We really wanted to create this tool for you after hearing your feedback from the first Open Beta Test. It’s important to note, though, that the builds from the Open Beta aren’t quite up to speed with what you’ll experience at launch. Open Beta Test 1 was based on an older version of the game, and while Open Beta Test 2 does add a few new elements, like Arkveld and Gypceros, it still doesn’t reflect the full optimization we’ve achieved since then.

How to Use the Benchmark

Ready to give it a whirl? You can download the Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark directly from Steam. Here’s what you need to know:

–

Install Size

: 29 GB
–

Length

: A quick 6 minutes
–

Benchmark Flow

: You’ll start at the title screen, then watch a performance demonstration, and finally, you’ll receive a results screen.

Your score will give you an idea of how your PC stacks up, but remember, there’s no character creation here. The benchmark isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience; you can tweak settings in the Options menu to see how different configurations might work for you when the game officially drops. There’s even a Loop setting to automatically rerun the benchmark after a minute, which is super handy if you want to test various setups.

Just a quick note: the settings you adjust in the benchmark won’t carry over to the main game, and if your system doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, you might run into issues. So, make sure to check those out on the Store page!

What to Expect

Before we wrap things up, let’s be clear: while the Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark is a great tool to gauge your PC’s performance, it doesn’t guarantee how your system will handle the game on launch day. However, it does provide a much clearer picture compared to the Open Beta Tests.

In Summary

Here’s the lowdown:

– The Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark is live and free to use—download it HERE.
– It’s your chance to see how your PC will perform with the production version of the game.
– You can adjust settings to reflect your preferences.
– Remember, the Open Beta builds are outdated and don’t reflect the current state of optimization.
– Any improvements from the Pre-Launch Community Update will be available on Day 1 of launch.

That’s all for today! If you’re eager to ensure your rig is ready for the hunt, we highly recommend giving the benchmark a shot. Whether you faced unexpected performance hiccups during the Open Beta or just want to double-check your setup, the benchmark is your best bet.
