About
Monster Hunter Stories is a 2016 role-playing game spin-off that takes the beloved Monster Hunter franchise in a completely different direction. Instead of playing as a traditional Hunter, you take on the role of a Rider and engage in turn-based combat with monstrous companions. This shift to classic RPG mechanics and story-driven gameplay makes it a notable departure from the action-focused main series entries.
The game is quite accessible from a PC performance standpoint, with modest hardware requirements that won't challenge modern systems. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 3428 and a CPU score near 3007 can handle the game comfortably, meaning you'll achieve solid FPS performance even on budget graphics cards. With just 4 GB of RAM required, Monster Hunter Stories remains one of the more forgiving titles to benchmark and optimize for older or lower-end gaming setups.
With an 80/100 rating and engaging turn-based RPG mechanics, Monster Hunter Stories is worth playing if you enjoy the Monster Hunter universe but prefer strategic gameplay over action combat. The game offers a relaxing alternative to the franchise's typically demanding titles.
Performance profile
Released in October 2016, Monster Hunter Stories sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
RPGs like Monster Hunter Stories stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Monster Hunter Stories; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
