Monster Hunter Rise — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Monster Hunter Rise on PS5 brings PC-like graphical customization and massive performance improvements over the Switch original. Players can choose between three global presets—Frame-Rate, Default, and Prioritise Graphics—or adjust individual settings like textures, shadows, and foliage sway. Default Mode is the highlight, delivering a locked native 4K at 60fps. Frame-Rate Mode drops internal resolution to 1134p to hit a locked 120fps on 120Hz displays. Graphics Mode supersamples from a 4.8K internal render resolution to 4K output, though framerates can dip below 60fps in demanding scenes without VRR.

Monster Hunter Rise on PS5 runs exceptionally well, leveraging its mobile origins to deliver stable performance up to 120fps. Default Mode offers a pristine native 4K at 60fps, while Frame-Rate Mode guarantees 120fps at 1134p native resolution. Graphics Mode provides brute-force 4.8K supersampling, though it occasionally drops below 60fps.
