Should You Buy a PS5 Pro?
Recommended for Improved Visuals
It is recommended to purchase the PS5 Pro if you want to play Monster Hunter Wilds with better visual quality and stability. The game will utilize the PS5 Pro's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to output high quality visuals while maintaining optimal performance.
However, even if the PS5 Pro can run the game, do note that it is not fully optimized for the console to run the game at a consistent FPS, so it is still best to wait before buying a PS5 Pro.
PS5 Pro Performance
Capcom has provided the performance details regarding Monster Hunter Wilds on the PS5 Pro, and it's worth getting one to have an enjoyable experience in-game with the settings provided in the table above.
PS5 Pro Needs a Separate Disk Drive
It is also worth mentioning that the base PS5 Pro does not include a disk drive, which is needed to be bought separately to play any physical games.
If you are planning to buy a PS5 Pro and the physical version of the game, you need to purchase a disk drive.
Experience Decent Gameplay on the PS5
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds runs on the PS5 well, with FPS drop rates only noticeable during battles and with improvements planned on the final version of the game.
A regular PS5 is enough to play Monster Hunter Wilds with decent settings, even if it struggles to maintain 60 FPS, so settle for this if you don't have the budget to get the Pro version!
PS5 vs. PC: Which Platform To Buy?
PS5 vs. PC Specs and Prices
| PS5 | PS5 Pro | PC | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $599 USD | $700 USD | ~$1,000 USD (recommended specs) |
| FPS | Ranges from 30 to 60 fps Framerates will vary |
Currently being optimized to run on constant 60 fps | With recommended specs, can run on 60 fps constantly |
Buy a PS5 For Gaming
Buying a PS5 is worth it if you wish to play other games that are on the PS5 library. While Monster Hunter Wilds run fine on the console if you don't plan on playing the game with the highest settings, it's still worth buying due to its currently growing library of games to play!
Monthly Subscription to PS Plus
A monthly subscription is needed to play online multiplayer games on the PS5, similar to how Nintendo subscription works for the Nintendo Switch console. Keep this in mind if you want to hun with other players if you are planning to play the game on the PS5.
Multiplayer Guide: How to Play Co-Op
Invest On PC For Better Performance and Play Other Games
If you're aiming to play Monster Hunter Wilds with the best visuals and performance possible, it is recommended to build your own PC as it will run the game better than a PS5 if you have the right set of components.
This will also allow you to play other games that are not on the PlayStation lineup.
Buy a PS5 Pro If You Don't Have a Console or PC
If you don't have any console or PC to play Monster Hunter Wilds on yet, getting a PS5 Pro is advisable, but still optional.
Do note that you should wait for Monster Hunter Wilds to be fully optimized for the PS5 Pro before purchasing the console, and that you should purchase a disc drive if you are buying the game physically.
