Get ready to hunt! Monster Hunter Wilds is almost here, and Capcom has just released a PC benchmark tool on Steam to help you check if your rig is ready for the action. Even better, they've also lowered the official PC system requirements!
Capcom's benchmark tool is live now on Steam. It's straightforward to use—just run it and see how your system performs. This is especially helpful given the updated system requirements.
Previously, hitting 1080p at 60fps with Frame Generation required a beefy 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 should get you smoothly hunting at 1080p and 60fps with Frame Generation enabled, according to Capcom. The updated requirements represent a welcome drop in needed hardware.

Early benchmark results show noticeable performance improvements compared to the beta, especially with Frame Generation. However, Steam Deck users might still face challenges.
Another significant change is the reduced storage requirement. Down from a hefty 140 GB to a more manageable 75 GB, this is a surprising but welcome adjustment in an era of ever-growing game sizes.
