Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Real-Money Purchases

by Aaliyah Apr 16,2025

Capcom has unveiled an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds* that lets players customize their hunter and Palico appearances. While your first edit comes at no cost, any additional changes will require you to purchase Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers are available in packs of three for $6, or you can opt for a combined set for both characters at $10. Without these vouchers, your customization options are limited to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing—you won't be able to tweak those core facial features.

This monetization system wasn't mentioned during the game's early previews before its full launch. It was only announced last week through Capcom's social media channels. Despite some controversy over microtransactions and performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* shattered records, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at its debut.

Capcom has yet to respond to the community's feedback on this decision. Players have voiced their discontent with the paid customization model, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier games in the series where appearance modifications were either free or could be earned with in-game currency. Many fans argue that this new approach detracts from what was once a core, freely accessible feature of the franchise.
