Monster Hunter Games Aren't Guaranteed To Work With Windows 10 In Future, Capcom Says

"Capcom shared a message on Steam that reminded players that Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 14. Consequently, the publisher states, "we will no longer guarantee that Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds will run on Windows 10 systems." The publisher went on to say that the games will still be playable on that operating system after that date. But any future game updates for those titles may render them incompatible with Windows 10 machines."

"A Capcom executive recently blamed Monster Hunter Wilds' drop in sales on the high price of PS5 consoles. Capcom acknowledged the game's problems on PC in June, and Wilds saw a surge in players after a subsequent update. Capcom dropped another new patch for Monster Hunter Wilds last month, but the game's larger PC issues won't be directly addressed until an update coming this winter."

Monster Hunter Wilds launched strongly with 10 million copies sold in its first month but then experienced a steep sales decline and ongoing PC performance problems. Microsoft ends support for Windows 10 on October 14, which means Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds will no longer be guaranteed to run on Windows 10 and future updates could break compatibility. Capcom linked Wilds' sales drop to high PS5 prices, issued PC patches and acknowledged issues, and plans a larger PC fix this winter. A crossover with Final Fantasy 14 is active and Gogmazios returns in December.
