Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Microtransactions

Author : Joshua Mar 13,2025

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a new character customization feature allowing players to edit their hunter and Palico appearances. The first edit is free, but 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. Without vouchers, players are limited to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing; core facial features remain unchangeable.

This monetization method wasn't revealed in pre-release previews and was announced last week via Capcom's social media. Despite controversy surrounding microtransactions and reported performance issues, Monster Hunter Wilds achieved record-breaking success, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.

Capcom has yet to respond to player feedback concerning this paid customization model. The community expresses significant dissatisfaction, drawing unfavorable comparisons to previous series installments where appearance changes were free or unlockable via in-game currency. Many feel this monetization undermines a core franchise feature.
