20 million sales later, Capcom is bringing Monster Hunter Rise to iOS and Android, but for now it's locked behind a Netflix subscription

Monster Hunter Rise is coming to Android and iOS through Netflix, new store listings have revealed today.

The short version

• The game, which originally launched on Nintendo Switch in 2021 and later came to PC, Xbox and PlayStation - and that I thought was superb , even in its most barebones release state - seemingly got a 'soft launch' today on both Apple and Android storefronts.
• The pages note that a Netflix Membership is required in order to download and play the game, but it's important to note that it will be stored and run natively on your mobile device.
• We've already seen Capcom scale the build up from Switch to PS5 in the past five years, so going the other way and getting the ambitious game running on mobile hardware seems like the logical next step for the publisher.
