Sunano went on to state that the company&#8217;s goal was to bring the same experience people have had on PC or console to Nintendo Switch 2 &#8220;without compromising the experience of Monster Hunter Wilds&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But doing that was not easy. &#8220;It was this painstaking, and at times seemingly endless, process of making decisions and optimisations one by one that proved to be one of our biggest challenges in delivering a comfortable handheld experience while preserving what makes Wilds feel like Wilds.&#8221; The result seems to be agreeable, at least: the game runs at a solid 30FPS in handheld mode, even when running taxing multiplayer hunts.<\/p>\n<p>And this will all help lay the foundations for this version of the game &#8211; and others &#8211; as Capcom gets ready to deploy the massive new content update at some point in 2027. &#8220;We plan to apply the knowledge and expertise gained through this project to the performance improvements that we will be making for existing platforms in the lead-up to the release of Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/Monster-Hunter-Wilds_2026_09-16-26_003.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"3840\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"Monster-Hunter-Wilds_2026_09-16-26_003.jpg\" height=\"2160\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"3840\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>Capcom<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/Monster-Hunter-Wilds_2026_09-16-26_001-1920x1080.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"Monster-Hunter-Wilds_2026_09-16-26_001-1920x1080.jpg\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>Capcom<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/monster-hunter-wilds-lagiacrus-monster-screen-1.jpeg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"monster-hunter-wilds-lagiacrus-monster-screen-1.jpeg\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>Capcom<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A furry, white monster with chains on its wings roars against a sunny-looking plain\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/arkveld-mh-wilds.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"A furry, white monster with chains on its wings roars against a sunny-looking plain\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"arkveld-mh-wilds.jpg\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>Eurogamer<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Small yellow Chocobo from Final Fantasy wearing jacket and goggles in Monster Hunter Wilds\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/TGS2025-Capcom-Online-Program-_-9.24.2025-(US)-24-44-screenshot.png?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"2560\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Small yellow Chocobo from Final Fantasy wearing jacket and goggles in Monster Hunter Wilds\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"TGS2025-Capcom-Online-Program-_-9.24.2025-(US)-24-44-screenshot.png\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"2560\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>Capcom<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds screenshot showing silhouette of giant flying dragon-like monster over characters mounted on birds\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/Monster-Hunter-Wilds---Free-Title-Update-2-1-52-screenshot.png?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds screenshot showing silhouette of giant flying dragon-like monster over characters mounted on birds\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"Monster-Hunter-Wilds---Free-Title-Update-2-1-52-screenshot.png\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>Capcom<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds&apos;
