Here’s everything you need to know about Monster Hunter World on PC

Monster Hunter World has become Capcom’s most successful game ever, and for good reason. If you’re the sort of person who goes in for its beguiling charms and incessant grind, you’ll fall in love with World’s voluminous content. If you don’t own a current gen console, preferring to game on Pc, you’ve been forced to sit on the side-lines while others team up to corral and cleft all manner of beast.

But no more! Monster Hunter World is coming to PC, and it’s coming next month. According to Steam, you’ll be able to hunt those monsters on your PC on August 9. There are pre-order bonuses available to those who want to drop coin before release, as well as a digital deluxe edition for those who want entirely pointless, superfluous content.

Pre-order Bonuses:

  • Origin Set: The Origin Set armor is a nostalgic must-have for series fans. This full armor set (head, chest, arms, waist, and legs) comes with enough defense to carry you through the early quests, and also features plenty of skills useful for gathering.
  • Fair Wind Charm: The Fair Wind charm carries a skill that increases your attack power, and one that adds a chance of reducing the damage you take. The charm also has a nice visual impact, as equipping it will add a glowing aura effect to your left arm!

Digital Deluxe Edition:

  • Samurai Set: Layered armor sets will change the look of your armor without changing the properties underneath. Equip this Samurai set over your favorite armor to take on the striking appearance of a feudal Japanese samurai warrior! (Note : No weapons are included with this set)
  • Gesture: Zen
  • Gesture: Ninja Star
  • Gesture: Sumo Slap
  • Sticker Set: MH All-Stars Set
  • Sticker Set: Sir Loin Set
  • Face Paint: Wyvern
  • Hairstyle: Topknot

The PC version of the game will support resolutions of up to 4K, along with smooth 60fps action if your system supports those. Beyond that, the system specifications are fair, and you’ll be able to get smooth 30fps 1080p gameplay from a modern lower-mid-range machine.

Minimum System Requirements:

  • OS: WINDOWS® 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64-BIT Required)
  • Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4460, 3.20GHz or AMD FX™-6300 above

We gave the game a 9.5, saying:

Monster Hunter World is an addictive, thrilling but ultimately satisfying experience. It’s the perfect starting point for newcomers, but it also has all the depth that long-time fans enjoy, making this easily the best game in the series.

        Any other game I’d agree, but this CE is a must.
        Where’s Kromas?

          I felt the same about Fallout 4. Only game I’d preordered since Mass Effect 3.

          IMO, the only game that currently deserves a pre-order is Cyberpunk 2077. With everything else, I’ll wait for the review before forking out me hard earned moola.

            Not just the games, I just like Fallout. If I’m in the shops and I see shot glasses for Fallout I’ll buy them

            Gotta admit, I’m also rather in love with the world.
            I really hope F76 is good, I truly do. Been a fallout fan since, damn, when did the very first one come out?!

        Well since fallout cost me R4000 …. yeah I have no money for games anymore. Wow and Fallout 76 better be worth it. At least DayZ hits Beta as well and 7 Days to die gets Alpha 17 and Sea of thieves apparently got gud.
