Will It Be Released On The Switch?
Unlikely To Be Released For The Switch
The Switch is a great console with a unique play style, but it's hindered by its hardware that cannot keep up with current gen graphics. MH Wilds is said to have bigger, seamless maps and will require higher system requirements that the Switch may have difficulty to provide.
No MHW Switch Port As Well
Monster Hunter Rise was released on the Switch in 2021 was later ported to the PC, PS4, and PS5. Meanwhile, Monster Hunter World (2018) was never released for the Switch.
Could It Be Released On Rumored Switch 2?
Since the successor to the Switch has been announced, it is possible that MH Wilds could be released on it at a later date. However, this only a possibility since no specs on the Switch 2 has been revealed.
Will It Be Released For The PS4?
PS4 Version Is Unlikely
After the launch of the PS5, there were quite a few games that were released simultaneously on the PS4 and PS5, but gradually this became less and less with most new games being PS5 only. For example, Dragon's Dogma 2 from Capcom, the same makers as Monster Hunter, was released on the PS5 but not on the PS4.
Unlikely Because Of The System Requirements
It's very unlikely that Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on the PS4 because of the game's high system requirement. There is a huge difference between the PS4 and PS5 specs, especially when it comes to load times and graphics. The fact that this title support cross-play also makes it unlikely that a PS4 version will be released.
