How to Preload Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak on Nintendo Switch

The only way you can preload Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is by pre-ordering the game. If you go to the Nintendo Store, you should see a sentence right below the ‘Pre-Order’ button stating, “This lets you pre-load the game, so you’ll be able to play as soon as the game is released.” According to the latest information, the preload contains the DLC 13GB update data, which will be released on June 30.

Because this game requires a hefty amount of memory from your Nintendo Switch, it is recommended to clear out unwanted games from your device or use a microSD card. After the download is complete, you can expect to see new features of the Monster Hunter Rise universe, including unique monsters, weapons, locales, and characters.

Those who are beginners to the game should know that you need a copy of Monster Hunter Rise first before diving into the Expansion Pack. Additionally, you will need to complete HR 7 Hub Quest: “Serpent Goddess of Thunder” to participate in the adventures of Elgado.

Can You Preload Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak on PC? Answered

Unfortunately, for PC users, there is no preload available for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Of course, you can still preorder the game, but you’ll have to wait for everything to download on release day.

If you have preordered the game, the good news is that you’ll be rewarded with two bonus add-on content: The Loyal Dog Costume and Striped Cat Costume. Furthermore, wearing these two skins will not affect your stats and abilities; its primary function is to give you an all-new look for your character.
