We’re a few days away from the launch of Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise PC.  This means it’s time to see if your PC is up to the task of playing the game. Not sure if it is? As we’ve dug up the minimum and recommended specs to play the game, not to worry. 

For those wondering what’s in store for those who pick up the PC version, there are lots. In addition to supporting up to 4K visuals and ultrawide monitor support, there’s also higher-res textures, a higher frame rate, to name a few features. For those who enjoy playing these types of games with a keyboard and mouse, you’ll be happy to know that the game features optimized keyboard and mouse controls with the ability to rebind and set shortcuts for actions. 

Monster Hunter Rise PC is currently available for preorder on Steam, priced at $59.99 for the standard edition and $74.98 for the deluxe edition.

Though, having any of those won’t hurt if you’re looking to play at a higher frame rate, resolution of if you just want to get the best experience as possible.
