    Capcom details performance for Monster Hunter Wilds on Nintendo Switch 2

    Capcom gave us our first look at Monster Hunter Wilds on Nintendo Switch 2 during last week’s direct, and they have just provided details how it will run on Nintendo Switch 2. Monster Hunter Wilds is set to release on the platform December 4, 2026.

    It seems that Nintendo Switch 2 is locked onto just one setting in handheld, running at 864p at 30fps. Docked mode does technically have two settings, one prioritizing frame rate and the other resolution, but they are both set at 30fps as well. Prioritizing resolution will give you a 1260p image at 30fps, while prioritizing frame rate gives you 1080p at 30fps.

    You can see the full chart from Capcom below:

    Platform Performance Settings Output resolutions *1 Frame Rate *2 Ray Tracing
    PS5 Pro Prioritize Resolution 3840 x 2160 30fps Enable
    Balanced 40fps Enable
    Prioritize Framerate 60fps Disable
    PS5 Prioritize Resolution 3840 x 2160 30fps Disable
    Balanced 40fps
    Prioritize Framerate 60fps
    Xbox Series X Prioritize Resolution 3840 x 2160 30fps Disable
    Balanced 40fps
    Prioritize Framerate 60fps
    Xbox Series S – 1920 x 1080 30fps Disable
    Nintendo Switch 2 TV Mode
    ( Prioritize Resolution )    		 2240 x 1260 30fps Disable
    TV Mode
    ( Prioritize Framerate )    		 1920 x 1080
    Handheld Mode 1536 x 864
    Steam Varies dependent on hardware and settings.

    Capcom has also mentioned that they use dynamic resolution in tandem with upscaling, as well as to expect some frame drops in all versions. Here’s the full quote:

    *1 Render resolution changes depending on system load. If rendering resolution falls below output resolution, upscaling will be applied.
    *2 Frame rate may drop in some high-load situations.

    Monster Hunter Wilds is set for a Nintendo Switch 2 release date on December 4, 2026. If you’d like to get a look at the game running on Nintendo Switch 2, you can click here.
