PC performance will vary based on hardware and settings. While minimum specifications were previously announced, Capcom is working to lower these requirements for broader compatibility. Details are forthcoming, and a PC benchmark tool is under consideration.

Potential Second Open Beta Test

A second OBT is being considered, primarily to give players who missed the first opportunity a chance to experience the game. However, the changes discussed in the livestream won't be included in this potential second beta; they'll be exclusive to the full release.

The livestream also highlighted adjustments to hitstop and sound effects for a more impactful feel, friendly fire mitigation, and weapon refinements, notably for the Insect Glaive, Switch Axe, and Lance.
