Capcom has officially ported their popular series continuation title Monster Hunter Rise on to both the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. They announced that they would be bringing it to the new platforms following the successful launch of the Sunbreak DLC. These new platforms will be included with the games ongoing free post-launch support, but players on these new platforms will have to wait for the Sunbreak DLC, which is planned to arrive in Spring 2023.
The new-gen platforms do provide the opportunity for the game to have features including 4K resolution support, advanced graphics options, voice chat, 3D audio, and more. Users on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will be able to take advantage of customizable optimizations including 3D audio, 4K resolution, and 60 FPS. Ranged and shielded weapons also make use of DualSense™ adaptive triggers on PlayStation 5.
This port also comes with an update that introduces new features to improve players joining up with others for hunts. Dynamic difficulty scaling for multiplayer automatically adjusts as new players enter and exit hub quests. The new “Hunter Connect” feature allows players to create tags with their objectives and playstyles, search for other players with the same tags, or invite friends to any tags they have joined. Upon completing a quest in multiplayer, players are also able to like the other hunters in their party, and increase the odds of finding each other in matchmaking.
Monster Hunter Rise is now available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, as well as on Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and cloud. Are you ready to begin your monster hunting journey?
