Monster Hunter Wilds is just weeks away, and Capcom has released a PC benchmark tool on Steam to help players check if their systems meet the mark. Even better, the PC system requirements have been officially lowered!
Capcom's PC benchmark tool, available now on Steam, is a straightforward way to test your system's compatibility. While it requires a shader compilation upon loading, the process is quick and provides a clear performance indicator, especially helpful given the updated system requirements.
Previously, achieving 1080p at 60 frames per second (with Frame Generation) required a powerful setup. Now, the recommended specs for 1080p/60fps with Frame Generation are significantly more accessible:
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)
This represents a noticeable reduction in the required hardware compared to the initial specifications.

Early benchmark results show improved performance compared to the beta, particularly with Frame Generation enabled. However, Steam Deck compatibility remains uncertain.
Another significant change is the reduced storage requirement. The game now only needs 75 GB of SSD space, down from the previously stated 140 GB. This is a surprising reduction, especially considering the typical trend of increasing game file sizes.
