Which Platforms Is Monster Hunter Wilds Available On?

*Monster Hunter Wilds*, the latest installment in Capcom’s renowned beast-slaying series, is set to launch on February 28 across Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Unfortunately, it won't be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 due to their hardware limitations. There's speculation about a potential release on the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official word from Nintendo yet.

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players will once again venture into a vast open world, confronting a variety of monstrous creatures. From the colossal Uth Duna to the iconic dragon-like Rathalos, the game promises thrilling encounters with both new and returning beasts.

Every Pre-Order Bonus For Monster Hunter Wilds

By pre-ordering *Monster Hunter Wilds* before the February 28 deadline, you'll unlock the following exclusive bonuses:

While Capcom hasn't revealed the specifics of the Hope Charm's effects, it's likely to provide some beneficial perks to your character, much like similar items in past games. Although it might not make you an invincible monster hunter, it could offer a slight advantage in crucial moments.

In addition to the editions available in the West, Capcom is offering two physical PS5-exclusive Collector’s Editions in Japan:

Collector’s Edition ($68)

This edition includes:

• Fluffy Seikret plush
• Weapon bag
• Steelbook

Note that this edition does not include the game itself, and shipping costs from Japan can add up, making it a pricey choice for international buyers. The adorable Seikret plush might be tempting, but consider if it's worth the total cost.

Ultra Collector’s Edition ($1,140)

This extravagant edition includes:

• *Monster Hunter Wilds* base game
• Pre-order content
• Fluffy Seikret plush

• *Monster Hunter Wilds* Secret Folding Bicycle

The folding bike, a Dahon K9X, will be shipped separately in April 2025. While the bike is a unique addition, it's not included with the Deluxe Edition DLC. The bike's standalone price in Japan is around $870, so consider if the additional items justify the total cost. International shipping and availability are also factors to consider, as Capcom’s Japan store does not ship internationally.

What Have the Early Reactions to Monster Hunter Wilds Been Like?

While full reviews are yet to be released, the *Monster Hunter Wilds* beta and various previews have garnered positive feedback. Here are some highlights from the previews:

• IGN: "The impressive variety of monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, both in appearance and behavior, and the environments I’ve seen have so much attention to detail that it’s clear how much care the developers put into the series."
• PCGamesN: "So far, Monster Hunter Wilds is more evolution than revolution – but given that World was such a good game, that’s absolutely the correct move."
• Eurogamer: "Monster Hunter Wilds cuts out the clunk – and plays like the most streamlined, beginner-friendly entry yet."
• GamesRadar: "In just 30 minutes, Monster Hunter Wilds sold me on the action-RPG series I’ve never played."

IGN's recent preview noted that the game "...performed significantly better than the Open Beta Test." Players had reported performance issues during the beta, so it's reassuring to hear these have been addressed.

Overall, the consensus suggests that *Monster Hunter Wilds* strikes a balance between innovation and familiarity, appealing to both new and veteran players. If you're still unsure, you can try it out during the upcoming open betas scheduled for February 7-10 and February 14-17.

These are all the pre-order bonuses and editions for *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but remember, you'll need to act fast to secure them before the February 28 release date.
