Monster Hunter Wilds

Microtransactions in Monster Hunter Wilds are summarized as...

The game can be purchased in 3 editions;
- Standard edition, for roughly 70 USD.
- Deluxe edition, for roughly 90 USD, offering the base game as well as a set of cosmetics exclusive to this edition.
- Premium Deluxe edition, for roughly 110 USD, offering the Deluxe edition as well as 2 yet to be released cosmetics packs. One of these is slated to be released in "Spring 2025", the other in "Summer 2025". The exact contents are unknown.

Additionally, the game offers a wide variety of extra purchases right from the game's initial launch. There are 18 possible purchases, totaling roughly 65 USD. These mostly consist of cosmetic only only, but they also feature some items that to give you a head start, offering some in-game materials, potions, and other benefits.

To edit the look of your character you need to purchase an Edit Voucher. This can only be purchased in a pack of three, either for your own character or for your companion "Palico", or both. These packs cost roughly 7 USD.
