Monster Hunter World System Requirements

Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise saw a massive bump in popularity with the release of Monster Hunter World. Players are joining their friends for co-op and as such new hunters are joining the Fifth Fleet and making research trips to the New World all the time.

If you’re thinking about jumping in, you’ll want to know if your computer is equipped with the right gear to handle it’s upcoming monster battles. Luckily, the game is well optimized for a wide variety of computer hardware and operating systems.

We do recommend that you limit the framerate to either 30 FPS or 60 FPS as without doing that the game can be prone to stuttering on all but the beefiest of rigs. This is because it’s actually quite CPU intensive, as it loads the entire level and several pieces of background information into memory in a unique workaround designed to reduce the game’s loading times.

As seen in the hardware specs put on Steam by Capcom, if you meet the Monster Hunter World system requirements then the action game will run at a steady 30 FPS with a GTX 760, a graphics card released all the way back in 2013. The team that worked on the port obviously cared about making the game available to as many fans and potential fans as possible and made the game very scalable, including plenty of graphical options that can be tweaked at your leisure to ensure best performance.

If you meet those minimum PC requirements then you’ll have no trouble going out on a monster hunt. Now to hunt for three friends that will play the game with you! It should be an easy sell, as the game is available on Xbox Game Pass.
