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: World has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments. It is played from a third person view.
Why Monster Hunter: World is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Monster Hunter: World. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Monster Hunter: World within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Monster Hunter: World scales hard with the hardware you give it. Monster Hunter: World needs only 3 GB of video memory. Monster Hunter: World takes about 52 GB of disk space. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Monster Hunter: World needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Monster Hunter: World?
Older hardware holds up here: Monster Hunter: World runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA®GeForce®GTX 760 or GTX1050 or AMD Radeon™ R7 260x or RX 560 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.24x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.26x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.56x |
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.
