Setting and environment
The game is set in a fantasy world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Monster Hunter Wilds has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. Play is presented from a third person view. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Monster Hunter Wilds is demanding
Demand in Monster Hunter Wilds is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super(VRAM in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. DirectX 12 is named, so Monster Hunter Wilds expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Disk footprint is light, near 75 GB on an SSD. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Monster Hunter Wilds at the floor and Monster Hunter Wilds at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Monster Hunter Wilds?
Monster Hunter Wilds is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660(VRAM 6GB) or AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 XT(VRAM 8GB) clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Monster Hunter Wilds needs about 75 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
