The highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds is set to deliver a truly next-gen hunting experience on the PS5 Pro. Capcom has confirmed that the game will take advantage of the console's power, offering players a choice of performance modes to tailor their gameplay.

As the first new entry in the popular series in almost four years, Monster Hunter Wilds has generated significant excitement.  With its release date fast approaching, Capcom has been steadily revealing details about the game, including PC system requirements and, most recently, performance options for console players.

Monster Hunter Wilds will utilize the PS5 Pro's PSSR technology to provide upscaled graphics without sacrificing performance.  Three distinct performance modes will be available:  Balanced, Prioritize Framerate, and Prioritize Resolution.

The 'Prioritize Framerate' mode targets a smooth 60 FPS gameplay experience, while the 'Prioritize Resolution' mode aims for stunning 4K visuals. The 'Balanced' mode sits in between, offering a 40 FPS experience with enhanced graphical fidelity compared to the Framerate mode.  Importantly, ray tracing is supported in both the Balanced and Prioritize Resolution modes, adding another layer of visual depth to the game's already impressive world.

This news comes on the heels of Monster Hunter Wilds' successful second open beta phase on Steam.  The beta saw impressive player counts, further fueling anticipation for the full release. Despite server issues impacting PlayStation players during the same period, the Steam beta attracted a substantial number of hunters.

With the final round of the open beta concluding, all eyes are now on the official launch. Monster Hunter Wilds promises to be a major release in a year packed with highly anticipated titles.  2025 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for gamers, with a diverse lineup of games on the horizon.
