Monster Hunter Wilds plays better on PS5 Pro - but we hoped for more


Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5 Pro - is this the premiere place on console to enjoy the latest Capcom open world adventure? Oliver talks visuals and performance.

The base PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X pack a lot of visual modes, but suffer from substantial image quality and performance woes while lacking the PC version's higher-end settings. The game suffered from excessive aliasing and image breakup, a consequence of relying on a pretty weak anti-aliasing solution with a crude mix of spatial upscaling and sharpening to make it look more refined on a 4K set. Unfortunately, in frame-rate mode we still get the usual RE Engine screen space reflections (SSR) on bodies of water, which looks artefact-ridden and prone to obvious occlusion issues.
