Steam hit another new player record this weekend, with more than 40 million people online at the same time.

"To sum up, lower-end graphics cards with lower VRAM allocations should avoid Monster Hunter Wilds until these issues are rectified," Digital Foundry's Alex Battaglia wrote. "Higher-end hardware can brute-force the game's shortcomings to some degree, but it's still hard to recommend such a flawed technical outing - or even derive optimised settings."
