Monster Hunter Wilds Introduces Real-Money Microtransactions

Mar 21,2025 Author: Audrey

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. Without vouchers, players are limited to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing; core facial features remain unchangeable.

This monetization model was not revealed in pre-release previews and was announced only last week via Capcom's social media. Despite controversy surrounding this and ongoing performance issues, Monster Hunter Wilds achieved remarkable success, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.

Capcom has yet to respond to player feedback regarding this paid customization system. The community has expressed significant dissatisfaction, drawing unfavorable comparisons to previous games in the series where appearance changes were either free or obtainable through in-game currency. Many players feel this monetization undermines a core aspect of the franchise's established identity.
