Monster Hunter Rise
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.
