Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Real-Money Microtransactions

Author : Alexis May 06,2025

Capcom has rolled out an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds* that lets players tweak their hunter and Palico appearances. The first edit comes free of charge, but for those looking to make more changes, you'll need to grab some Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers come in packs of three for $6, or you can snag a combo set for both your hunter and Palico for $10. Without these vouchers, your customization options are limited to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing—core facial features remain off-limits.

This monetization twist wasn't mentioned during the game's early previews before its full release. Capcom only dropped the news last week through their social media channels. Despite the stir around microtransactions and some performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* smashed records, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.

Capcom has yet to respond to the community's feedback on this move. Fans are voicing their frustration with the paid customization model, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier games in the series where appearance changes were either free or earned through in-game currency. Many in the community believe this new approach detracts from what was once a cherished aspect of the franchise.
