MONSTER HUNTER RISE News

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Monster Hunter Rise!

Hey Hunters,

This week marks three years since Monster Hunter Rise first launched on Nintendo Switch on March 26 2021, before arriving here on Steam on Jan 12 2022!

Your passion, support and hunting prowess for Rise (and Sunbreak!) has been and continues to be amazing, thank you all so much!

Unsurprisingly, we absolutely wanted to celebrate this milestone with you here on Steam!

To mark the occasion, we’ve got not one, but two pieces of artwork to share with you, including a couple of messages from the Development team:

Capcom broke Monster Hunter Rise on Steam Deck, new update fixes it

Update 2 - 23/01/24: Capcom has now fixed the issue that was preventing Monster Hunter Rise from launching on the Steam Deck. There is still no acknowledgment of what the original issue was or how it has been fixed so we still have no confirmation that it is tied to the implementation of Enigma DRM. Valve did update the Proton Hotfix which would allow the game to run some hours earlier, but the official fix is now live.

Update 1 22/01/24: The official Monster Hunter Rise Twitter (X) account has acknowledged the issue on Steam Deck, promising a hotfix to be released "in the very near future" but stopping short of confirming what the issue is, or if it is related to the inclusion of Enigma DRM.

Capcom has added DRM (digital rights management) to Monster Hunter Rise, effectively removing its Steam Deck verification in the process. Players are not happy and refund requests are also being rejected by Valve despite the issue.

Monster Hunter Rise still holds a verified rating on the Steam store, meaning it should be among the best Steam Deck games to play in terms of optimization. Capcom, however, has left the game unable to even launch, all because it added Enigma DRM, a controversial move that it is no stranger to.
