The page for Monster Hunter Stories 2 say that the game will run at 1080p with 30fps, meaning you won’t notice too much of a graphical boost compared to the Nintendo Switch version of the game. That being said, the game is apparently optimized for lower end computers, having low RAM and GPU requirements that even mid-tier machines from 5 years ago should be able to run.
That being said, the relatively low load makes sense considering the game’s genre. Unlike previous Monster Hunter PC title Iceborne, Stories has a much more simplified art style, and doesn’t contain the large sprawling maps with everything happening at once.
