Apparently Monster hunter rise will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One exclusively in digital version. Official confirmation of this move came from Capcom itself through Gematsu, eliminating any possibility of holding in one's hands a physical version of this video game finally out of the Nintendo dimension.

The whole thing was announced through a Twitter post on the site's profile, which accompanied the announcement with the following words: “Capcom has confirmed to Gematsu that Monster Hunter Rise for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4 and Xbox One will be digital only. No physical editions are foreseen”. The clarity of this statement will break the heart of lovers of "physical copies" and those who hoped to enrich their themed collection, having to necessarily fall back on the Nintendo Switch version now, in this sense.
Obviously, such a choice is the daughter of a present that has been consolidating in Japan for some time now. Digital publishing hasn't caused too much of a stir in those parts, always reminding you that each market is characterized by different elements. It will therefore be necessary to see the reaction of the West, designed by a certain type of nostalgia still looking for the “physical format” nowadays.
We also remind you that Monster hunter rise will be available from Day One on Xbox Game Pass, once again shaking the western trade balance. This option too has been at the center of much controversy in recent days, attracting both positive and negative comments.
Monster Hunter Rise will be available on digital shelves around the world starting January 20, 2023, ready to further expand a community that had already experimented with such a broad approach in the past, succeeding fully as a winner from every point of view. Are you ready for all the new hunts available?
