Capcom is giving Monster Hunter Wilds a permanent price reduction next month while also changing how its paid cosmetic DLC is sold. The base game will receive a permanent MSRP drop starting August 4, 2026.
The move comes alongside a new set of bundles, including Monster Hunter Wilds Gold Edition, Monster Hunter Wilds Cosmetic DLC Collection and Monster Hunter Wilds Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack. Capcom is also retiring the Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition and Cosmetic DLC Pass from sale.
The biggest change is the permanent price cut for Monster Hunter Wilds. Capcom has not listed the new price in every region yet, and players will need to check platform stores once the change goes live. The price drop is aimed at new players who have not bought Wilds yet. It should make the base game easier to enter before the next wave of paid and free content arrives.
Capcom will stop selling Monster Hunter Wilds Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition and the Cosmetic DLC Pass on August 4. Players who already own those products will keep access to their content after the change.
The individual DLC packs and items included in those older products will still be available separately. That means the change is not removing already released cosmetics from the game, but it is reshaping how new buyers see the storefront.
The new Monster Hunter Wilds Gold Edition will bundle the base game with the Cosmetic DLC Collection. This makes it the new all-in-one purchase for players who want the game and the released cosmetic content together.
The Cosmetic DLC Collection includes Cosmetic DLC Packs 1 through 4, Festival of Accord packs, the Deluxe Pack and the Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack. Capcom is presenting it as a single bundle for players who already own the base game but want the paid cosmetic items in one purchase.
The new Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack will include select paid cosmetic DLC that was previously sold only as standalone items. Capcom has not shared final regional pricing for the new products yet.
Monster Hunter Wilds already has a large cosmetic catalog across outfits, gestures, pendants, stickers, hairstyles, face paint, camp items and Seikret decorations. Bundling those items may make the store easier to understand, but it also shows how much paid cosmetic content has built up since launch.
Monster Hunter Wilds launched in February 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Capcom has also confirmed that a Nintendo Switch 2 version is in development.
The next major release is Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, a paid expansion planned for 2027. Capcom has described it as a continuation of the main game’s story, with new quest ranks, new locales, additional monsters and expanded weapon actions. Before that expansion arrives, the August pricing and bundle changes give new players a cheaper way into Wilds and a cleaner set of DLC options to choose from.
