Late last year, when Capcom released a free demo forMonster Hunter Riseon PC, it launched on Steam precisely at 12 PM ET on October 13. And before that, Capcomreleased theIceborneexpansion forMonster Hunter: Worldat 12 PM ET on the day of release. Since Capcom seems to like that release time of 12 PM ET, it makes sense for the PC port ofRiseto launch at that time, too.
Monster Hunter Rise PC Release Time
If the past is anything to go on,Monster Hunter Riseon PC should release around 12 PM ET on July 18, 2025,on Steam. For other time zones, players can look below.
As mentioned previously, there have been no official details on the actualrelease time forMonster Hunter Riseon PC, so players should take this with a grain of salt. The game could potentially end up releasing after 12 PM PT (or perhaps even before the listed time).
Monster Hunter Rise’s File Size on PC
Since keeping up with large game data files on PC can be a hassle, some players might be happy to know thatMonster Hunter Riseon Steam only requires 23 gigabytes of free space. This is more than twice the amount of storage data needed to runMonster Hunter Riseon the Nintendo Switch, only about 10GB. But considering that the PC version will sport improved textures and visuals and a couple of other neat additions, it makes total sense as to the PC file size. PC players should ensure they have the required space on their hard drive before downloading/installingMonster Hunter Rise.
However, players should know that theupcomingSunbreakexpansion forMonster Hunter Risewill undoubtedly increase the game’s total file size. However, the expansion will be paid, so players don’t have to make the jump unless they would like to when the DLC launches for both PC and Switch this summer.
Monster Hunter Riseis available now on Switch, with its PC port launching on June 11, 2025.
