Monster Hunter Rise Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In January 2023

Another Game Pass W. Will be checking this out next year

finally it comes . don't forget MH stories too CAPCOM!?

@rhyno_888 Yes, MH Stories would be nice too. I tried to play both demos for Rise and Stories on Switch but just couldn't handle the low frame rate. I unfortunately get a headache and eye pain playing things with less than about 50 fps.

I pushed myself through a bunch of short sessions just to play Plague Tale Requiem. But at least that game doesn't require much fast movement so its more tolerable.

Woah - if this is true, this is huge. I put so many hours into Rise and Sunbreak, and I would love to do it again.

Sounds great
Can not wait....

@theskelf

I had lots of fun with this one on the Switch. Not sure if I start again on my XSX but will have a look for the looks of this game. The game was to heavy for the Switch.

@theskelf its subjective ofc, but i like it more

@theskelf for me World was much better, better visuals and performance. Also in Rise you can't do the story via multiplayer like you can with world. I'm not the best so it came to a point in the story (in rise) where I just gave up, whilst in world you can summon other players to help you, hence why I completed that one.

@The_Pixel_King Same here, I didn't pick it up on Switch expecting a better-performing version and now it seems that I'm getting exactly that on Series X... for "free".

@theskelf story wise it’s way better. But World is more expansive and has many more things to do.

Cross save please

Hope it will come true it’s such a fun game and to play this at 60fps 4K will be even better.

Really hope this is true. I own the game on switch, but the resolution and 30fps really aren't great in docked mode, particularly having been comparatively spoiled by the frame rates and resolutions available on the series X. I've logged 100s of hours in mh world but struggled to break 100 with rise on my switch as the technical shortcomings really hampered my enjoyment.

@Neither_scene That's right, time flies playing Monster Hunter World on Series X. Actually, there's a video mode that provides almost 60fps, flawlessly with VRR.

Inserts L.A Noire Doubt meme

This would be a great addition.
2023 is almost embarrassing with all the stuff we are expecting! I need to cut down on sleep so I can get all these titles played

@theskelf Monster Hunter Rise is a masterpiece, better then Monster Hunter World

This would be huge if this dropped on Game Pass. I enjoyed my time with this on Switch and would definitely play it again on Xbox.

I suck at MH yet spent way too much time failing at this on Switch already. I would absolutely play it again if it were 60fps.

@theskelf World is almost a "spinoff" MH, a bit more westernized to a degree. Rise is "core" traditional MH with the arguably more "mission-based", pick up and play (but grindy) play, and definitely more technical. I think World picked up a lot of new fans by being a little less rigid than the traditional, very Japanese game, while Rise is a love letter to core MH fans, that incorporates some of the streamlining from World. The fast travel/riding mechanic makes traversal a lot more streamlined than even world though, IMO even if the areas are very rigid. Also Rise embraces it's Japanese-ness to the point of having musical numbers with cats in kimonos which automatically makes it the best. Difficulty is definitely higher out of the gate though (Iceborne excluded.)

@UltimateOtaku91 You couldn't really do the story in multiplayer in World either though. Which was a massive bummer.

@NEStalgia you could, once you see the main monster in the story mission you could then shoot a flare to allow people to join.

Huge win for GamePass!!! But somehow the naysayers will find something to complain about it. “It’s an old game”, etc.

Love it on Switch. Will definitely play it again on my Series X as well.

@Kaloudz it’s bit different. It has been designed for switch so it’s less photorealistic than mhw. The locales are much easier to wrap your head around. Gampeplay wise it’s sooo much fun. And yes, it’s big focus is multiplayer, albeit some things are unlocked by single player story

Guess I'm eating humble pie on this one lol was not expecting that to be true

Figures. I bought it on PC last week haha. Fantastic game nonetheless!

Between this, wo long and starfield, gamepass is looking pretty awesome next year already for me personally

Hell yeah, looking forward to jumping into this at 4K on my LG OLED. No more handcramps in handheld mode on Switch. The pro controller is cool, but Xbox ia ao much more comfortable. Plus a 120 FPS MODE!

@theskelf you'll enjoy it a lot!
