People found hints that the new Monster Hunter might come to Nintendo's next console. Dataminers discovered a reference labeled nsw2UpgradeEdition in Title Update 4 for Monster Hunter Wilds. This suggests Capcom could be working on a Nintendo Switch 2 port. The game still has major performance problems on PC and consoles despite over one hundred fixes in that update.
The community reaction online was deeply skeptical. Users on forums like ResetERA and Reddit joked about a potential Potato Mode for the port. They pointed out that the Steam Deck struggles to run the game even with heavy upscaling. Comments highlighted expectations of a resolution as low as 480p and frame rates around twenty per second. Some compared the rumored port to other demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 getting Switch 2 versions.
A port would require massive optimization to hit a stable frame rate. The Switch 2's support for NVIDIA DLSS technology could help achieve better visual fidelity. Game director Yuya Tokuda has tried to bring back lapsed players by increasing the game's challenge through updates. Whether the port happens depends on further performance improvements across all platforms.
