Get ready to hunt! Monster Hunter Wilds is almost here, and Capcom has just released a PC benchmark tool on Steam to help you check if your rig is ready for the action. Even better, they've also lowered the official PC system requirements!

Capcom's benchmark tool is live now on Steam. After a quick shader compilation, it’s easy to use and will give you a clear picture of your system's performance. This is especially helpful given the updated system requirements.

Previously, hitting 1080p at 60fps with Frame Generation required a beefy setup. But now, Capcom has significantly lowered the bar. Here are the updated recommended specs for 1080p (FHD) at 60fps with Frame Generation:

OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) / Windows 11 (64-bit) Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / Intel Core i3-12100 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Memory: 16 GB Graphics Card (GPU): GeForce RTX 2060 Super / Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB VRAM) Storage: 75 GB (SSD required)

According to Capcom, these specs should deliver a smooth 1080p 60fps experience with Frame Generation. The lowered requirements are a welcome change.

Early benchmark results show noticeable performance improvements compared to the beta, especially with Frame Generation enabled. However, Steam Deck users might still face challenges.

Another significant change is the reduced storage requirement. The game now only needs 75 GB of SSD space, down from the previous 140 GB. This is a surprising reduction, especially considering the increasing file sizes of modern games.
