Monster Hunter Wilds Introduces Real-Money Microtransactions

Mar 05,2025 Author: Zoey

Monster Hunter Wilds' new character customization feature sparks controversy. Capcom's latest title allows hunters to alter their appearance, including that of their Palico companion. However, 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 dual-character pack for $10.

This paid customization system, unannounced prior to launch, was revealed last week through Capcom's social media. Despite the backlash and reported performance issues, the game achieved remarkable success, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.

Capcom remains silent on player feedback. The community is largely unhappy with the monetization model, contrasting it sharply with previous Monster Hunter games where character customization was either free or attainable through in-game progression. Many fans view this as a significant departure from established franchise norms and a potentially damaging monetization strategy.
