Can you play Monster Hunter Wilds on the Steam Deck?
Monster Hunter Wilds is not currently Steam Deck verified. This means that should you try to run it, it likely won’t be a particularly stable experience. This can be confirmed via the game’s pre-release benchmarking tool. You can use this to simulate the game on Steam Deck and get a score related to how well the machine can run things. At present, this does not go well, indicating that, at least for now, Monster Hunter Wilds is not suitable for Steam Deck. This could change in the future, and given Monster Hunter’s history on handheld devices, we sure hope it does.
