After releasing on the Nintendo Switch as a timed-exclusive back in March 2021, Monster Hunter Rise makes its way to PCs via Steam today. This version brings some extra features as expected such as support for 4K resolution, ultra-wide monitors, voice chat, advanced graphics options as well as some new filters.

​

Monster Hunter Rise transports players to the colorful Kamura Village as it prepares to defend against the looming Rampage.

At launch, owners of the PC version will have access to all previously released post-launch content up to the Nintendo Switch 3.6.1. This include new monsters and collaboration content. More post-launch contents will be synched at the end of February.

Monster Hunter Rise is available on Steam for £50. A free demo is also available to download on the game's Steam page. The upcoming paid DLC Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will launch on both Nintendo Switch and PC in Summer 2022, with details to be shared at a later date.

Be sure to check out our review of the base game on the Switch which scored 9/10!

Okay, that's cool. Now I just need to wait for it to go on sale.... and hopefully find some people to play with.

Awesome game, fully recommended. Specially if you're new to the franchise.

I can't speak about the PC port performance but if it ran well on the Switch it would be embarassing if it had technical issues on PC.

 

[Chary]

Happy for PC players. Wonder if it'll outdo MH World.

 

[SuperDan]

I've not played MH in ages is this one good? I got a Oled Switch for Xmas... & I saw it on a sale & was quite tempted.... But now it's on PC I will just wait for a Fatgirl repack... Or something else...

Finally, now i can get this game 2 years in the future when everyone has forgotten about it
:-D

Guessing it doesn’t have crossplatform play?

no cross play and no cross saves

no cross play and no cross saves

That’s disappointing. That means I would have to buy it a second time to enjoy with my PC gaming friends, which I can’t afford right now

MH on PC is just too weird for me. If you can't kill a Rathalos on the toilet, what are you doing with your life?

Playing it on a Steamdeck would be cool though.

Is steam deck really prepared for the load of high fidelity games releasing? I'm worried about the specs and not being able to upgrade.

Idk the specs of the Steamdeck, but MH Rise runs at 60 FPS on the Switch, so it will have no trouble running on whatever Valve finally decides to ship (which I understand is going to be very powerful for the price)

This is one of those series of games that every time a new game gets released, I think "maybe THIS is the one that I jump into series"...and then never do.

 

[CloudStrife1901]

Could never get into these games. Found them to be a complete borefest

In all my years, I've never seen a Rathalos on the toilet... Seems like an unfair fight...

I'm back in the hunting box baybeeee! Everything that was great about the Switch version is better.

MONSTER HUNTEEEEER

It absolutely does not run at 60 fps. It runs at 30 and struggles hard during multiplayer.

Rise is very straightforward and if you have friends to play it with it's a no brainer. I'm not the type of guy who grinds for the most optimal builds and I still had my fun with the game on Switch.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Makes me wonder if Capcom would "upgrade" games like this on the Switch successor if it has BC in the same vein as Xbox Series does.

MH is legitimately one of those games that takes 30 hours to "get into." Not to argue whether a game should take so long to become entertaining or w/e, but eventually the hunts become some of the most rewarding experiences in gaming imo.
