Monster Hunter Wilds is on the brink of a significant transformation. Tomorrow marks the release of Title Update 4, which brings over 100 performance enhancements to the game. Historically, promises of performance boosts have been met with skepticism due to minor past improvements. However, recent visuals released by CAPCOM suggest this update is different and noteworthy.
Performance Gains in Monster Hunter Wilds
Recent comparison videos showcase the performance improvements between Title Update 3 and Title Update 4 across battles with Arkveld, Xu Wu, and Lagiacrus. These tests were conducted using two recommended system configurations:
First Configuration
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 (VRAM 8GB)
- Resolution: 1080p (Upscaled) *AMD FSR: Performance
- Graphics Settings: Medium
Second Configuration
- CPU: Intel Core i5-10400
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super (VRAM 8GB)
- Resolution: 1080p (Upscaled) *NVIDIA DLSS: Performance
- Graphics Settings: Medium
Both setups reveal noticeable improvements, particularly in the Arkveld battle. The first configuration’s FPS increased from an average of 40 in Title Update 3 to about 50 FPS in Title Update 4. The second configuration showed similar enhancements. These performance boosts, combined with improved stability, promise a more enjoyable experience for PC players.
A New Era for Monster Hunter Wilds
The rollout of Title Update 4 is just the start. More enhancements are planned for release in January and February, aligning with Monster Hunter Wilds’ first anniversary. The game’s final Title Update will introduce further improvements and content, aiming to bring back players who have stepped away. The game’s producer hopes these updates will reignite interest, as Monster Hunter Wilds truly deserves it.
