What Engine Is Monster Hunter Stories 3 Using?

Monster Hunter Stories 3, much like most of Capcom’s first-party games, is built using RE Engine. It’s the same engine that powers titles like the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem and also Monster Hunter Wilds. That said, since the game is built with the Switch 2 in mind, it’s not going to offer the same level of graphical complexity as Monster Hunter Wilds.

This is reflected in the game’s system specifications. MHS3 doesn’t use Frame Generation or upscaling to reach the intended performance target. And most likely, MHS3 uses a stripped-back RE Engine, akin to Monster Hunter Rise. As such, it should run quite well on lower-end PC configurations.

What Is Monster Hunter Stories 3’s File Size?

According to the system specifications, the game will require roughly 50 GB of SSD storage on PC. On consoles, Capcom has yet to reveal the file size. However, it should be somewhere within the ballpark of 40-50 GB.
