"Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Real-Money Microtransactions"

Author : Riley May 27,2025

Capcom has rolled out an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, allowing players to customize their hunter and Palico's appearances. The initial character edit comes at no cost, but subsequent modifications will require you to purchase Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers are available in convenient packs of three for $6, or you can opt for a comprehensive set covering both characters for $10. Without these vouchers, your customization options are limited to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing, leaving core facial features untouched.

This monetization approach was not mentioned during the game's early previews before its full release. It was only last week that Capcom announced this via their social media platforms. Despite some controversy around microtransactions and performance issues, *Monster Hunter Wilds* shattered records with over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.

Capcom has yet to respond to the player feedback concerning this decision. The community has voiced their discontent with the paid customization model, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier games in the series where appearance changes were either free or attainable through in-game currency. Many fans argue that this new approach detracts from what was once a core, beloved feature of the franchise.
