Steam Deck & laptop compatibility
Steam Deck users can expect Monster Hunter: World to run well. The game is estimated to achieve around 66 FPS at 1280x800 resolution.
To play Monster Hunter: World at 60 FPS in 1080p, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Laptop GPU is suggested. For a playable experience, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop GPU is a good starting point. Keep in mind that laptop GPUs are often less powerful than desktop cards with the same model name.
Monster Hunter: World is moderately demanding for its age and can be CPU-sensitive in busy hub areas. The minimum GTX 760 or R7 260x with 8GB of RAM runs the game at 1080p around 30fps on low settings, while the recommended GTX 1060 3GB or RX 570 4GB with 8GB of RAM targets 1080p/30fps on high, with stronger cards needed for a locked 60fps.
The central Astera and Seliana hubs, packed with NPCs and other players, put extra load on the CPU, so a modern quad-core or better helps maintain frame rates. The base game install is around 52GB before the Iceborne expansion, which adds significantly more. An SSD is recommended to reduce the noticeable loading screens between quests, though it is not required.
