In a recent announcement that has stirred the gaming community, Capcom, the renowned Japanese video game developer, has declared it will cease support for Windows 10 concerning several of its popular titles in the Monster Hunter franchise. This decision, effective from October 14th, has implications for players who enjoy titles such as Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
Transitioning Support
Capcom conveyed this information through a post on Steam, emphasizing that while these games will continue to function on Windows 10 for the time being, the company cannot assure their compatibility with future updates. The statement read, “However, future system updates or game title updates may make the game incompatible on Windows 10 systems.” This cautionary note highlights the evolving landscape of operating systems and their support.
The company further elaborated on the limitations of support, stating, “Proper game functionality cannot be guaranteed on operating systems of which Microsoft has ended support.” This indicates a shift in focus as technology progresses and older systems become obsolete.
- If players encounter issues running the games post-October 14th, Capcom will only be able to provide assistance based on information available before the discontinuation of support for Windows 10.
- Furthermore, services aimed at diagnosing problems related to these games on Windows 10 will also be phased out.
This announcement coincides with Valve’s plan to discontinue support for the 32-bit version of Windows 10 by 2026, signaling a broader trend in the gaming industry towards newer operating systems and technologies.
As the gaming world evolves, players are encouraged to stay informed about the platforms they use and the potential impacts on their gaming experiences.
