'More DLC = More FPS' — Monster Hunter Wilds Players Ask Capcom for Answers After Theory Suggests a Backend DLC Check Is Tanking Performance - IGN

Google News1/15/2026 – 1/16/2026

Summary

Players of Monster Hunter Wilds are seeking answers from Capcom regarding performance issues, which they believe may be linked to aggressive backend checks for downloadable content (DLC). Reports indicate that purchasing all DLC can unlock twice the frames per second (FPS) performance, suggesting that higher FPS is inadvertently paywalled by a resource-intensive background check for paid content. Various sources, including TechPowerUp and Tom's Hardware, have noted that the game performs significantly better on PC when all DLC is installed.
