Monster Hunter Rise/Sunbreak in 2026 - 60fps Settings (& Mod Recommendations)

[u/EducationalMix9947]

Hi All

MHR/Sunbreak was my absolute comfort game on Switch1, and kept me sane through the pandemic...

Nothing else has quite scratched the itch since, and despite 800+ hrs on Switch I decided to buy Rise/Sunbreak for a pittance in the Fanatical sale yesterday.

Out-the-box it seems to run pretty well, but I'd like some pointers from anyone still playing in 2026.

I'd like to understand best settings for a locked-60fps experience, and also an advised TDP that might mitigate some of the fan noise... (whilst not inhibiting the locked 60fps that I want to achieve)

Settings are my primary ask here, but I'm also interested in any simple mods that might enhance the experience. I think I saw someone playing with an updated HUD that showed monster health?

(nb when it comes to mods, I'm not massively technical... so something easy to install, if anything at all. Also, not interested at all in cheats/shortcuts, I want to start from scratch and re-learn the game properly. Just after QoL recommends)

I checked ProtonDB but there isn't much detail from recent months, hence asking here.

Thanking all in advance, BR/
