However then once more, Monster Hunter Wilds secured a prime spot as effectively regardless of depressing consumer scores as followers await nonetheless much-needed optimization patches.
Capcom’s action-RPG additionally made Digital Foundry‘s list of the worst PC ports of 2025. The technical analysts there still seem flummoxed by how badly the game runs, even after its latest Title 4 Update, and even as the publisher’s upcoming work like Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem seems to be doing simply high quality on the platform. “Definitely one of the poorest games I’ve reviewed in a long time from a technical performance perspective,” Alex Battaglia stated in the course of the outlet’s annual look back video.
Capcom has promised bigger performance improvements in 2026, however even these might be unfold out throughout a few months. It’ll be the one-year anniversary of Monster Hunter Wilds‘ launch and PC players will still be waiting to see if the game will finally be passable on that platform or if it’ll proceed to run with framerate hitching and texture pop-in, amongst different points.
