Monster Hunter: World is Coming to PC this August

Monster Hunter: World is coming to PC much sooner than anticipated, Capcom has announced, giving the game an August 9.

The highly anticipated PC release of Monster Hunter: World is almost upon us, and some of us just can’t wait. Monster Hunter: World has gone on to be Capcom’s best-selling video game of all time with over 8 million units sold, and that figure is only going to get higher once the game hits PC.

As you might expect, Monster Hunter: World‘s PC port is set to bring the same content as its console counterparts as well as “special collaborations” and other additional content which has been released post-launch for the game will be coming to PC at a later date.

It’s likely the “Special Collaborations” bit has something to do with the recent announcement of the Monster Hunter x Final Fantasy crossover that’s set to take place this Summer.

Finally, Capcom has revealed the recommended and minimum PC requirements which can be found below:
