From October 14 three Monster hunter Games may no longer run smoothly on Windows 10, as it is the day Microsoft will end support for the operating system. Reports indicate that Monster hunter The series has sold over 120 million copies since its launch, which means that the coming end of the support can affect thousands of players.
Microsoft leaving Windows 10 behind should not surprise, as the company announced plans to phase out as early as 2021. In particular, Windows 11 has now exceeded Windows 10, making it easier for the company to shift the focus away from the older version.

Capcom stated it Monster hunter Games will remain playable on Windows 10 after October 14. However, it cannot promise the fans that future updates and corrections will be compatible with devices running that operating system. Capcom will also end services that handle potential performance problems for Monster hunter Games on Windows 10, which means that no more hotfixes will be released for the operating system from now on.
Monster hunter Fans are not alone in this, as Final Fantasy 14 Have also announced plans to exit support for Windows 10 on the same day. While both games are currently celebrating their expected crossover, they will leave some players behind on October 14, emphasizing the harsh reality that some devices and software will be outdated.
For Monster hunter Fans on PC, the solution may seem simple: they will need to switch to the latest version of Microsoft's operating system to avoid performance problems. But not all computers are compatible with Windows 11. This means that the end of support for Windows 10 can force some fans to upgrade the entire gaming computers, which potentially costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars. It is still unclear how many Windows 10 players will be affected or how many who make the switch to continue playing the games.
