Monster Hunter Wilds Gets PC Benchmark Tool — See How Your System Stacks Up

Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds is set to be a demanding title for PCs, featuring massive creatures, numerous on-screen characters, and expansive maps to explore. With the game’s release just around the corner, Capcom has provided a PC benchmark tool to help players assess their system’s performance capabilities.

The benchmark tool is available on Steam and requires players to have the Steam client installed, along with space to download the benchmark. It can evaluate a PC’s performance and assign a score of up to 20,000. To play Monster Hunter Wilds, a system must score at least 10,250; lower scores may require hardware adjustments for optimal gameplay.

Capcom also released a new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds, showcasing the Iceshard Cliffs and the formidable monsters that inhabit the area. This glimpse highlights the need for robust processing power to fully experience the game.

Open Beta Test

Players eager for an early glimpse can participate in the second open beta test for Monster Hunter Wilds, scheduled for two weekends: February 6-9 and February 13-16. Most of the content will mirror that of the first beta held last November, allowing players access to character-creation tools and a story trial, along with a Doshagma hunt. In this second beta, the Doshagma hunt serves as a gateway to further adventures against the Gypceros and Arkveld. Participants will receive a Felyne pendant or Seikret, along with a bonus item pack that will carry over to the main game upon its release.

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on February 28. Players looking to score bonus items ahead of time can do so by playing the mobile game Monster Hunter Now.
