Capcom will not “guarantee” Monster Hunter games can run on Windows 10 after October 14

Capcom has warned it cannot “guarantee” its Monster Hunter games will run on Windows 10 from next month.

In a brief note thanking players for “enjoying Capcom products,” the Japanese firm said that from the day Microsoft ceases support for Windows 10, October 14, it will similarly ” no longer guarantee that Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Wilds will run on Windows 10 systems.”

“Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Wilds will still be possible to play on Windows 10 after October 14, 2025,” the company announced on Steam. “However, future system updates or game title updates may make the game incompatible on Windows 10 systems.

“Proper game functionality cannot be guaranteed on operating systems of which Microsoft has ended support,” it added. “If an issue running the game occurs, support can only be provided based on information from before support for Windows 10 was discontinued. Services for investigating problems regarding running the game on Windows 10 will be discontinued.”

Valve is also ceasing Steam support for systems running 32-bit versions of the Windows 10 operating system (OS) from January 1, 2026, but insisted that, according to results from its August 2025 Steam Hardware Survey, only 0.01% of users reported using the operating system.

Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto recently attributed the high price of the PlayStation 5 as a reason for low sales of Monster Hunter Wilds, which sold eight million copies in three days, making it the fastest-selling title in Capcom’s history.
