Monster Hunter Rise is currently planned for an exclusive release on Nintendo Switch. It looks as though it’s Nintendo only for now, and given that it’s been developed from the ground up for Switch, it’s likely that it’ll stay there for the time being.
Is Monster Hunter Rise Coming to PlayStation?
Monster Hunter Rise is coming to Xbox and Playstation on January 19, 2023. This ends the era of Switch exclusivity for the game, unless you count the PC release.
