Summary

  • Monster Hunter Wilds will be enhanced for the PS5 Pro via a patch on release day.
  • PS5 Pro support details will be shared later, but expect improved graphics and performance.
  • Positive reaction from PS5 Pro owners to Capcom’s decision for Monster Hunter Wilds.

As a dedicated fan of the Monster Hunter series and proud owner of a PlayStation 5 Pro, I can’t help but feel like Santa came early this holiday season! Capcom’s decision to enhance Monster Hunter Wilds for the PS5 Pro is nothing short of a dream come true.

Capcom shared exciting news with fans who purchased the PlayStation 5 Pro console: they confirmed that the enhancements for Monster Hunter Rise will be available on launch day through a patch. This announcement was made during Capcom’s Pre-Launch Community Update live stream, where developers discussed the upgrades being made to the final version of Monster Hunter Rise, set to release on February 28, 2025.

I’m thrilled to be part of the community eagerly awaiting “Monster Hunter Wilds,” the first game in the series exclusively designed for this generation’s console and PC hardware. Unlike its predecessor, Monster Hunter Rise, which was tailored for the less powerful Nintendo Switch, Wilds offers Capcom a unique opportunity to elevate the game’s graphics and artistry in ways never before seen. The anticipation is palpable, as evidenced by the record-breaking participation in the beta on Steam this year. Feedback from players has been diverse, ranging from enthusiastic praise to constructive criticism, all of which has been openly shared with Capcom via social media and official feedback channels.

It seems Capcom is addressing fan feedback by planning some changes to be implemented in the game at launch. They’ve even announced something exciting for PlayStation players – compatibility with the PS5 Pro, which was released in November 2024. During their Monster Hunter Wilds Pre-Launch Community Update stream, they mentioned that the game will receive a day-one patch to support various PS5 Pro features. Capcom has also confirmed this on their official Twitter and Bluesky accounts.

Monster Hunter Wilds Will Be PS5 Pro Enhanced After Day 1 Patch

We are happy to confirm that PS5 Pro Enhanced support will be added to Monster Hunter Wilds via a day 1 patch. We’ll share more details on how the graphics will be enhanced on PS5 Pro at a later date.— Monster Hunter (@monsterhunter.capcomusa.com)2024-12-19T17:47:11.440Z

Regrettably, eager PlayStation 5 Pro users haven’t received specific information about how Monster Hunter Rise on PS5 Pro might be optimized. Instead, Capcom has hinted that they will reveal further details about potential features or visual upgrades at a later time. However, given the enhancements observed in other PS5 Pro-optimized games, it is likely that PS5 Pro users playing Monster Hunter Rise won’t have to make many sacrifices when trying to achieve performance goals. Enhancements such as higher resolution and improved visuals while maintaining a smooth frame rate are some of the advantages enjoyed by games optimized for PS5 Pro.

The response to the announcement was largely favorable, with numerous PS5 Pro owners (and some prospective buyers) applauding the decision. Some even expressed feelings of relief due to performance issues on various platforms during the open beta of Monster Hunter Rise in November, which affected many players’ experience despite early access for PS5 users. Furthermore, other high-profile launches have been marred by peculiar bugs and technical glitches associated with the PS5 Pro, hinting that Sony’s introduction of the hardware hasn’t always run smoothly.
