When Monster Hunter World was announced by Capcom at E3 2017, a great tidbit of information was that the game would also be coming to PC eventually. PC players were forced to wait long and patiently while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players had their share of fun and companionship in the latest hunts, but now the waiting comes to an end. Capcom is ready to release a grand array details on the PC build of Monster Hunter World!
The annoucement was made via the official Monster Hunter Twitter channel. Reportedly, the details were set to arrive at 9AM PST / 5PM BST on July 9, 2018. Three key points had been set to be addressed during this information dump: release date, distribution platform (whether it will come out on Steam, GOG, etc.), and the system specs (what equipment will be required to run the game at minimum or recommended settings).
