What’s also interesting is Capcom’s microtransaction DLC revenue. According to the leaked documents, PC gamers are not that interested in MTX. On the other hand, PS4 gamers are bringing a lot of money for Capcom.

Lastly, modder ‘nimu’ released an unofficial Hard Mode for Monster Hunter World. This mod increases speed, attack power, and fear value when all monsters are in an angry state. Additionally, the mod extends the wrath time of all monsters. You can download this unofficial Hard Mode from here.
Have fun!
