Monster Hunter World: Iceborne arrives on PC January 9

Capcom has provided a release date for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on PC.

PC users will be able to get their hands on Monster Hunter World: Iceborne January 9, Capcom has announced.

The date isn't surprising considering it's been expected in January for quite some time. Still, a release date is always nice, and it's in early January so that's a plus.

A new trailer showing the game running in 4K at 60fps on PC was also released.

The PC version of Iceborne will include features such as a high resolution texture pack, customizable graphical settings, and DirectX 12 support. Additionally, mouse-and-keyboard controls have been revamped across the board to "better suit the new actions and abilities" on PC.

And there's good news on the future release front: Capcom is planning on making all previously released console-version free title updates "available as soon as possible."

According to the company, the goal is to fast-track development and catch up with the console updates and release them at the same time. That's great news for PC users, who have had to wait quite a while for extra content.
