The failure of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC led Capcom to release the Pragmata demo on PC first


It has been quite frustrating for console players that, up until now, they haven't had the chance to get their hands on or try the Pragmata demo, while PC players have already played through it multiple times. Typically, Capcom releases demos for both PC and consoles simultaneously, but this time has been unusually different, leading many to wonder why. Capcom, anticipating these questions, explained that the reason the Pragmata demo arrived on PC before consoles stems from past mistakes with Monster Hunter Wilds on PC. Capcom is using the lessons learned from that experience to improve how they handle simultaneous multi-platform releases. Let’s take a look at the details of this story


I believe many of you reading this article are likely aware of, or perhaps even experienced firsthand, the issues with Monster Hunter Wilds on PC during its initial launch. The game was riddled with errors, from 'Play-Doh' graphics and stuttering to complete crashes. Even worse, character clothing models would disappear entirely. This happened despite players having PCs that met the recommended specs—some even far exceeded the maximum requirements—yet the game remained unplayable. In contrast, the console version ran smoothly without any issues. This is because Capcom typically prioritizes console development first before porting to PC, as was the case with Monster Hunter World. However, this time Capcom aimed to capture profits from both platforms simultaneously, resulting in an unpolished PC version. Consequently, with Pragmata, they have chosen to give extra attention to the PC build to avoid repeating those mistakes



This information comes from Automaton Media, who interviewed Naoto Oyama, the producer of Pragmata, and Cho Yong-hee, the director, regarding the behind-the-scenes development of the demo and the reason for releasing it on PC before consoles. The core reason can be summarized as follows: 'Since every PC has vastly different specifications, individual optimization on Steam is not an easy task. Releasing the demo on PC first allows the team to gather feedback to improve the game as much as possible before its global launch. These improvements focus heavily on frame rate stability


Mr. Oyama stated, 'We prioritize the player's gameplay experience over graphical fidelity. To ensure better performance, we are willing to scale back graphics so the game remains playable.' In simpler terms, the team opted to reduce graphical quality to narrow down the variables caused by diverse PC hardware. This gives the team more time to fine-tune various graphical settings and ensure a better, more stable frame rate. Meanwhile, on the console side, specifically the Nintendo Switch 2 version, Pragmata performs exceptionally well—comparable to Resident Evil Requiem. In other words, you can rest assured about its quality.


Mr. Oyama further stated that Capcom's RE ENGINE is highly compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, making development smoother than expected. He emphasized that the previous delay of Pragmata was not intended to coincide with the Nintendo Switch 2 launch; rather, the game's quality had not yet reached the standard they wanted to deliver at that time. The concept of controlling two characters simultaneously has been there from the start, but finding a way to transform it into a balanced gameplay system required additional time. We will have to wait and see how the Pragmata demo performs on consoles. Stay tuned—if there are any further updates, we will report them to you immediately
