Monster Hunter World PC Release Date / Pre-Order Guide

Ever since Monster Hunter World launched in January, Capcom has found itself with a massive hit on its hands--and that was just on PS4 and Xbox One. The online action-RPG will finally make its way to PC via Steam on August 9. It will come with everything that was available when it launched on console, with free updates rolling out after launch.

The focus of Monster Hunter World is to fight big monsters and collect lots of loot. According to GameSpot's 8/10 Monster Hunter World review, "this is likely the biggest and best that the franchise has ever been." You can find the system specs here and see the PC version in action above.

If you're ready to pre-order Monster Hunter World on Steam, you'll have to choose between the standard and deluxe editions. Either way you go, you'll get an in-game bonus for placing your order before launch.

Monster Hunter World PC Pre-Order Bonuses

Pre-order Monster Hunter World on Steam, and you'll get the following in-game items.

• Origin Armor Set: The Origin Set armor is a nostalgic must-have for series fans. This full armor set (head, chest, arms, waist, and legs) comes with enough defense to carry you through the early quests, and also features plenty of skills useful for gathering.
• Fair Wind Charm: The Fair Wind charm carries a skill that increases your attack power, and one that adds a chance of reducing the damage you take. The charm also has a nice visual impact, as equipping it will add a glowing aura effect to your left arm!
