As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Capcom has always managed to impress me with their unique offerings, and Monster Hunter: Wilds is no exception. The anticipation for this game is palpable, and from what we’ve seen so far, it promises to be a monster hit.

However, as a loyal fan of the series who has spent countless hours hunting monstrous beasts on my PS4, I can’t help but feel a pang of concern about the potential absence of Monster Hunter: Wilds on the older consoles. It’s a bit like being invited to a grand feast but finding out that your plate is empty when everyone else’s is overflowing.

The truth is, Capcom might not be willing to invest resources into supporting two additional pipelines of older hardware, which is a tough pill to swallow. But as the saying goes, every silver lining has a cloud, and in this case, that cloud could be the progress we’re all striving for. We’ve been dancing around the 9th generation consoles for nearly five years now, so it’s only natural that more and more titles are bidding farewell to their older counterparts.

Take Cyberpunk 2077 as a cautionary tale – clinging too tightly to obligations can lead to some pretty hairy situations! Let’s hope that by taking this step, Monster Hunter: Wilds will deliver an experience that leaves us all breathless when it finally comes out. And on a lighter note, I can’t help but wonder if the monsters in MHW will be as elusive as the game itself on older consoles… or perhaps they’ll just be hiding in plain sight!

As an ardent fan, it’s clear that Capcom has a winning card up their sleeve with Monster Hunter: Wilds. Though I haven’t had the chance to play the latest installment in the MH series yet, the initial impressions are undeniably promising – this game is destined for success. To maximize their earnings, it’s only natural that publishers aim to bring the title to a wide audience, and that’s why Monster Hunter World will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, I can’t help but wonder about the fate of loyal fans who still own 8th generation consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One – could this production potentially find its way onto those devices as well? Let’s delve a bit deeper to explore the possibilities.

MHW PS4 and Xbox One release explained

It’s no surprise that the Monster Hunter franchise has amassed a massive following of hundreds of thousands on PC, making it only natural to expand its availability across various platforms, right? After all, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 was launched on PS4 and Xbox One. So, when does Monster Hunter World arrive?

Regrettably, the likelihood of it occurring is quite slim. Monster Hunter (MH) isn’t as expansive as the Call of Duty (CoD) series. Given that Capcom may not wish to allocate resources for managing two more pipelines on older hardware systems.

It’s inevitable and disappointing when a generational shift occurs to foster advancement, and we find ourselves nearly six years beyond the debut of ninth-generation consoles. Consequently, it’s no wonder that an increasing number of games are abandoning older systems. For instance, Cyberpunk 2077 serves as a cautionary tale about developers who refuse to let go, leading to suboptimal performance. Fingers crossed that Monster Hunter World will deliver an exceptional gaming experience once it finally launches.
