Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Microtransactions

Author : Aaron Update:Mar 12,2025

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a new character customization feature allowing players to edit their hunter and Palico appearances. While the initial edit is free, subsequent changes require purchasing Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers are sold in packs of three for $6, or a combined pack for both characters for $10. This system limits free customization to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing, excluding core facial features.

This monetization model was not revealed prior to the game's release and was announced last week via Capcom's social media. Despite controversy surrounding microtransactions and reported performance issues, Monster Hunter Wilds achieved record-breaking concurrent player numbers on Steam, exceeding 1.3 million at launch.

Capcom has yet to respond to player feedback regarding this paid customization. The community has expressed significant dissatisfaction, drawing unfavorable comparisons to previous Monster Hunter titles where appearance changes were free or obtainable through in-game currency. Many fans view this as a significant departure from a core franchise feature.
