Monster Hunter: Wilderness is currently facing notable technical difficulties on consoles, even on high-end hardware like the PS5 Pro.  Performance and graphical fidelity are falling short of expectations, particularly concerning the implementation of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).

A recent analysis by French media outlet GamerSyde of the PS5 Pro version sheds light on these early concerns.

The "Resolution Mode," targeting 30 FPS, doesn't offer the option to disable ray tracing for a performance boost, nor does it provide a true 4K experience. This mode upscales a native resolution of 3072x1728p to 4K using PSSR.

However, despite the PS5 Pro's superior hardware, the "Resolution Mode" struggles to maintain a consistent 30 FPS, with frequent drops. GamerSyde attributes this primarily to inconsistent frame pacing.

The "Balanced Mode" and "Performance Mode" also present their own set of drawbacks.

The "Balanced Mode" runs at a slightly lower resolution of 2496x1404p, again without the option to disable ray tracing.  This results in significant frame rate fluctuations, making for a less-than-ideal experience, even on displays with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, and inconsistent visual quality.

While "Performance Mode" achieves its target of 60 FPS, it does so at a significant cost to visual fidelity.  PSSR struggles to upscale the 1080p resolution of this mode to 4K, leading to noticeable issues, especially in areas with dense vegetation, where unstable image quality and poor texture rendering are particularly apparent.

In conclusion, Monster Hunter: Wilderness on PS5 Pro clearly requires further optimization via future patches to deliver a truly satisfying gaming experience.
