Players who want to try out the game on those new console platforms, they will have to play from scratch. No biggie for the true fans of the franchise, they can always start from the beginning and enjoy the ride all over again.
Monster Hunter Rise arrives on PS4, PS5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on January 30, 2023.
