Monster Hunter: World PC release date announced

We have been waiting for this since a PC version of the Monster Hunter: World was mentioned. Now, you can mark your calendars because the release date is near.

Monster Hunter World is coming to PC on August 9

Monster Hunter: World will have you slaying large and small monsters on PC starting on August 9th. The announcement cam with a trailer. It was originally slated for a Fall/Autumn PC release.

Capcom said that Monster Hunter: World became their biggest selling game having sold more than 8 Million copies across the globe in just 6 months. They also informed that all of the additional content such as content collaborations will be coming to PC for free but on a later date.

They also said that there will a parity in terms of visuals between the PC and console versions. The console version already has amazing visuals so what I am expecting to see is better frame rates. A constant 60 FPS at the same graphics level from consoles will be enough. They are also lining free future updates for both game optimizations and additional content.
