MONSTER HUNTER RISE Best Steam Deck Settings

Compatibility Settings
Proton Version Default (no changes required)

MONSTER HUNTER RISE works fine with vanilla Steam Deck settings. No Proton version changing or third-party tools are necessary.

Read on for the best Steam Deck settings for MONSTER HUNTER RISE. We’ve put together two different configurations: one for the best visual quality, and the other for maximum battery life.

Recommended — Best Quality Settings (Native@40fps | ~3h)

This configuration gives you the best visuals at native resolution. The Steam Deck can’t quite manage a stable 60 frames per second, so I’ve opted to limit the frame rate in favor of a more consistent experience. I’ve also turned down the Image Quality setting to 100% to reduce the processor load during play. Putting this any higher won’t reap any noticeable visual benefits on the Steam Deck’s 7-inch screen.

MONSTER HUNTER RISE has been properly optimized for PC, and you get great battery life even with the knobs turned all the way up. Expect around 3 hours of game time on a single charge with these settings.

Performance Settings (720p@60fps | ~3h)

The gameplay in MONSTER HUNTER RISE is very reflex-heavy, so you may want to prioritize frame rate over graphics quality. This configuration drops the resolution down to 720p and makes multiple changes to the graphics settings to help the Steam Deck maintain a constant 60 frames per second during combat.

Battery Saving Settings (720p@30fps | ~4h15m)

Looking to squeeze even more game time out of your Steam Deck? This configuration can get you up to 15–30 minutes of extra play time without sacrificing too much visual fidelity. You do, however, lose out on the responsiveness that comes with a higher frame rate, so feel free to turn the frame limiter up if you need a few more frames per second.
