No, Monster Hunter Now does not have an official PC client. However, there are unofficial workarounds that you can use to play Monster Hunter Now on PC, but these are not supported by Niantic, so you’ll want to exercise caution to avoid potential bans.

It’s also important to note that Monster Hunter Now uses location-based gameplay, which encourages Hunters to go out into the real world in order to discover their fearsome foes. The mobile touch controls, AR features, and gyro aiming also make the process of hunting much easier as well. 

So, even if you can get Monster Hunter Now working on your PC, you’ll have a tough time actually playing the game as it was intended. Quite whether Niantic will release a Monster Hunter Now PC client remains to be seen, but for now, we recommend sticking to playing on your mobile device.
