Leaked a bit earlier, but Xbox posted it so..

It will be announced properly today at 10 PM UK / 5 PM ET time

Monster Hunter Rise will be released for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on January 20, 2023.

That’s according to a since-removed message published on Thursday by the official Xbox Germany Twitter account.

The tweet, which is pictured below, was seemingly mistakenly published ahead of an official announcement planned for a later date.

 

[feynoob]

I bought it on steam. Guess, I am gonna play it on gamepass then.

 

[adamsapple]

Probably formal announcement and trailer with enhancements at TGA.

 

[Punished Miku]

Nice add for sure. Best in the series for me.

 

[Alexios]

Here's what you lot can (mostly) expect. Edit: oh they got trailers added now so, never mind. I thought I saw some monster model improvements there but nope, they already look that awesome!!!


Best monhun, I'd hope for crossplay (edit: nope, just Xbox/Windows Store, oh well). This port could mean they have to wait longer for the World successor because it needs to be another "much wow, such next gen" moment to achieve the same success but next gen console sales have been slow.

I'd hope this also means that after all the core player base will get a taste for the wirebugs' mobility they can't decide to not include it in the next game (but other smaller aspects I could do without, like the way spiribirds work and populate the maps, that can change for all I care).

I only really have two issues with it: Sunbreak ditched rampages just due to vocal haters, similar to the swimming in Tri (but at least 3U had that still in, they didn't abruptly can it halfway into the game) and the spiribirds. The rest is bliss. Stylish af, excellent roster & end game.​

I really hope this gets a retail release on Xbox too

 

[FoxMcChief]

I can’t wait to play. Too many games on Game Pass!

 

[splattered]

My kids are gonna freak out.. I may try and find some time to play as well. Might as well just preorder a few copies

Interesting that they did not bundled it with Sunbreak

It's expected. That's how GamePass games often work. Let them play the base game for the monthly fee and try to sell them DLC.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Looks like cross gen games will still be releasing in 2023 ...

 

[SenjutsuSage]

For when Game Pass just keeps delivering more games than you know what to do with.

Youre surprised? For a lot of people next gen has only barely started because of the shortage

 

[R6Rider]

The fact that they are "launching" the expansion again next spring is pretty lame. Just bundle that shit together.

Is there a price on any of this? Are they gonna try selling Rise for $60 and Sunbreak for $40?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Is Sunbreak even available on steam?

 

[Kacho]

Yeah came out over the summer

 

[FoxMcChief]

Yeah came out over the summer

Cool. Thanks for the info. Capcom gonna Capcom. Gonna release shit separately to get more money down the line. And it’ll work.

 

[Mr Moose]

It's $40/£33.

 

[Alexios]

Btw, do general updates Sunbreak brought apply without its purchase (or release there)? Like how they made it so one can (optionally, in case some fumble and do it accidentally) just run into surfaces to wallrun/climb rather than just wirebug swing or otherwise fall into them? It's small but yeah

 

[DenchDeckard]

Fu King game pass...needs to chill with all these bangers.

It's THE killer app

 

[Banjo64]

Pretty insane really. Series is huge on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms - PlayStation only players going to drop £70 day one on this when it’s on Game Pass? Nuts.

I sold it on Switch but will give it another go on Series S.

Imagine if they patched in cross play / progression. Would be amazing.

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

Will this be getting physical release or digital only?

What's the consensus on Rise? Haven't played a MH game since Tri on Wii.

It's the best since Tri on Wii

Also happens to be a love letter to it with ace remakes of a couple of its maps in the new loading-free sandbox style. Well, it was meant as a love letter to Portable 3rd given the shinobi theme it's going for (the expansion is all european style) but that had much of the same content converted.

Best Monster Hunter title in the series, imo.

 

[Kacho]

Great. Only held back by the somewhat lacking monster roster.

It a massive upgrade over the Wii game though. Movement will feel a lot more fluid and you get insane mobility in Rise thanks to the mount & wirebug.

Monster Hunter Rise Will Feature a 120 FPS Option on PS5 and Xbox Series X

In addition to 4K/60 FPS support, Monster Hunter Rise will also feature a 1080p/120 FPS option on current-gen consoles.

4K/60 FPS or 1080p/120 FPS

Fuuuuuuuckin Awesome !

Backwards compat clowns are wholly responsible for this

 

[Codes 208]

it plays and feels like a direct spin-off to MHW (which is still my favorite), but its still good. It is at its base a switch game so it did feel limited in some areas but overall a huge improvement over the older titles imo.

Gone are the days of loading map areas

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I am an absolute mark for MH games, even new versions of the same game on different systems. Fuck me...

 

[Bridges]

Does this game's multiplayer do the same thing as World where you can't queue into a quest with friends until you've watched its cutscenes in single player?

That was very annoying, really hope they changed that.

 

[semiconscious]

game pass (finally, after a few months now) delivers!...

 

[nial]

It's a Switch game so why not?

4K/60 FPS or 1080p/120 FPS

Fuuuuuuuckin Awesome !

Guessing it’ll be 1080/60 on Series S.

 

[Jimmyisback]

Another one?

Not that I’m being ungrateful, but it makes me crazy that they go all the way down to 1080p to lock the frames at 120fps.

I’d rather just see an unlocked mode with vrr with a cap set at 120hz. Unlock the framerate at 4k, or drop to 1440p while unlocked and see if we can get frames between 80-100. It’s a huge improvement in responsiveness, and you don’t have to dramatically sacrifice visuals to get it.

 

[adamsapple]

1440p/60 should be doable I think. It's a Switch up-port.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I wasn’t a huge fan of World as my first Monster Hunter game, but I really love the way this one looks. I almost grabbed it on Steam a couple of times, but had a feeling it would come to ps and Xbox.

 

[Banjo64]

1440p/60 should be doable I think. It's a Switch up-port.

In my experience 4k 60 usually transfers to 1080p 60 but I’d be happy to be wrong (I don’t really give a fuck as I’m on a 1080p monitor anyway) just downloaded the 300mb game tile on my Series S.
