Make sure your FPS is always high
Monster Hunter Wilds has released to fairly high reviews from critics, with many citing a return to form for the franchise. However, if there's been one constant negative factor associated with the game, it's the overall performance of it. Players on PC will especially have a difficult time with Monster Hunter Wilds, as the game requires the perfect settings to perform optimally.
To make sure your game isn't laggy and difficult to see, follow our guide below to use the best overall PC settings to boost your FPS.
Best PC settings in Monster Hunter Wilds

Let's just start by saying that even players with a modern, high-end PC will struggle to achieve the frames they might be used to seeing in other games. Monster Hunter Wilds isn't well optimized out of the gate and while that could as time goes on, the launch stage for the game will be rough for most PC players.
Fortunately, you can change your graphics settings to give yourself a little more breathing room when it comes to the amount of FPS you're getting. While you can always simply turn every graphics setting to its lowest value and call it a day, you're compromising a ton of visual fidelity by doing that.
Instead, you want to try and find a happy middle ground that offers the best possible FPS while keeping Monster Hunter Wilds looking clear and crisp. Below, we'll go over every PC graphics setting available in Wilds so you know exactly what to set everything to before you even start the game.

Naturally, if you really want to go the maximum amount of FPS possible, turn down every setting to its lowest value, maybe scale down your resolution one notch, and go from there. However, if you want a mixture of solid performance and visuals, the values we've listed above are the best middle ground you'll be able to achieve.
Of course, you can make changes depending on your individual PC. If you have a higher-end machine, then you can keep some of the settings at a higher value if your FPS is already around where you want. Also consider your personal preferences; for example, if you're someone who likes motion blur, then by all means turn it on.
Hopefully, developer Capcom will release some future patches for Monster Hunter Wilds that improve its performance. In the meantime, though, use our graphics settings and enjoy the monster hunting.
