As you may already know, Monster Hunter World will be coming to the PC after its console release. While the game will hit PS4 and Xbox One later this month, the PC version is scheduled for a Fall 2018 release. And in a conversation with GamesRadar, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained the reasons behind this delay.
As Tsujimoto said, this will be the first Monster Hunter World and Capcom wants to make sure it gets it right.
“For the main Monster Hunter game, this is our first PC title and it’s something we want to make sure we get right. So rather than have it taking up resources during the console development and not it not being able to have our full attention on it. We want to get console out the door and then we’re going to take some extra time and try and get the PC version as good as possible.”
Tsujimoto concluded that Capcom aims to bring PC gamers a really great optimised PC experience.
“There’s extra work you need for PC as well. On console you use first party matchmaking, you just kind of plug into it, whether it’s PSN or Xbox Live, but on PC we’re going to have to work more to get our own matchmaking working. So, hopefully, PC users won’t mind waiting a little bit longer for us to bring you a really great optimised PC experience.”

Translation: get the console version out first, then get the best version out later and get idiots buying both versions.
who knew the gaming god race comprised of idiots.
I could understand this if there where zero hope for a PC release
It works for Rockstar.
Well I’m just going to buy this game on sale anyways.
I’m glad that they doing a proper PC release and i am pretty sure that i will probaly gonna make a pre-order, but still 7 months is a long time, i was hopping to se the PC release on April or May i guess i will have to wait :X
“i will probaly gonna make a pre-order”
smh
“i will probaly gonna sorta maybe think about one day doing something about thinking about making a pre-order”
hms
Wait, what is this school, you a teacher of Disqus checking everyone’s grammar? Guys like you good grief…
he is not checking his grammar he is obsessed about him preordering the game typical loser on this site
“typical loser on this site”
Excuse me, but i already played the game and the game is very good. The only worry is the port and seeing that they are taking their time with it for me it’s actually a good sign.
Oh and please let’s not forget that even if i make i pre-order on the game (that i already know that is good since i already played) i still have 2 weeks to refund it after launch due to any techinical issues.
First impressions are still a big thing, so I’m hoping they pull off a stellar port job, because if they don’t, it’s going to set a bad example and clearly the sales on the PC side will tank if it’s a bad port job.
Denuvo incoming for sure.
If that becomes a thing, that’s going to crush any hopes for SP offline play, which means I won’t be buying a copy.
good fck the pirates
I’m not a pirate, but f*k denuvo. I’m f’ing tired on seeing half of my CPU going on protection. That’s why I’m just sticking with my old classics, f*k this sh*t.
a.k.a. Sony and Microsoft’s check cleared.
Xbox didn’t even get a beta, so I doubt Microsoft has any money in this. Seems to be all Sony which wouldn’t come as a surprise considering they’ve done this same thing with RE7
Maximize sales of the more expensive console version. We know these dirty tricks Capcom this type of thing has been going on for years.
“B-bb-b-ut they are a business and they need to earn money to survive! Besides, games are SOOOOOO expensive to make nowadays!!!”
/s
Ikr. I wonder how much day one (on disk) DLC they will be selling too. Capcom are like the pioneers of milking people with unlock-able content thats already on the disk/installed.
QLOC were busy I guess.
He better realize he can’t take his words back, and can’t F this up after making this claim, else people are gonna eat Capcom alive if they release the game in a broken state.
They also better make some nifty exclusive weapon or armor set to make up for the wait, because the time gap is still bullshit.
Okay.
i’m going to giveaway a $20 steam wallet here in comment sections next week, i’ll just paste it in comments so be ready
very generous of you. by next week you mean any day after sunday?
i don’t know, i’ll post it completely random. if for some reason i won’t get to my PC during next week, i’ll paste a $50 code the week after that instead.
lol we all know why too much piracy lets cash in from consoles
That “Double Dippin Marketing” for multiplat owners who can’t hold their wad of course – which I have been guilty of myself a few times. Depressingly, Destiny 2 got massive sales from this strat, as did GTA V, of which people ended up with last gen’s, current gen and PC versions. I am sure die hard FF fans who played FF15 on consoles and own PCs will be repurchasing FF15 when it rereleases too.
If MH is really good after official release, I will def WAIT for PC ver.
PC porting release equals to lower sales for Sony, this is the MAIN reason.

First resident evil with no VR support SFV DLC edition now monster hunter delayed for a year. By which time I probably won’t even be interested and this will be another title to scratch off the Capcom list. Somehow this used to be one of my favorite companies.. >_>
