As a thrilled gamer, I can’t contain my excitement for the upcoming launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, one of Capcom’s highly anticipated titles from their flagship series. This game has been a long-awaited release, and I had the privilege to participate in two open beta tests (OBT 1 in October 2024 and OBT 2 in February 2025) that were divided into multiple phases.

In these beta tests, I got the chance to shape both my Hunter and Palico characters using an intricate character customization system, giving me endless possibilities to make them truly mine. This experience only fueled my anticipation for the full game release, as I’m eager to take on even more challenges in this captivating world of Monster Hunter Wilds.

In simpler terms, Capcom has affirmed that gamers can move their custom character design data from the Open Beta Test (OBT) straight into the full game version. This is particularly advantageous for players who wish to keep their Hunter and Palico looks as they’ve painstakingly designed them.

One significant advantage of joining the beta version of Monster Hunter Wilds is that it allows you to move your character creation data over to the final game. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide on how to transfer your character creation data from the beta to the full game:

1. Start by launching the beta version of Monster Hunter Wilds.
2. Navigate through the menus until you reach the Character Creation section.
3. Spend some time customizing and creating your perfect character.
4. Once satisfied with your creation, save it and make sure to remember its name or ID.
5. When the full game is released, launch Monster Hunter Wilds again.
6. This time, you’ll be able to find the Character Creation section in the main menu of the full game.
7. Enter the same name or ID you used during the beta version and voila! Your custom character will appear, ready for action in the final game.

Moving your character data from the beta version of Monster Hunter Wilds to the full game is straightforward. During the beta’s closure, your character information was already saved automatically. To keep this data, here are the steps to follow:

To ensure your progress in Monster Hunter Wilds’ beta carries over to the complete game, it’s been taken care of for you! If you wish to preserve this data, simply follow these instructions:

  • Ensure you have stable internet and launch Monster Hunter Wilds once the full version is available. 
  • Open the Design menu during the Hunter and Palico character creation screen.
  • If you have played the beta version, you will see an option labeled “Beta Test Data” at the bottom of the list.
  • Selecting this option transfers your character data from the beta to the full game. 

Things To Consider When Transferring Character Save Data in Monster Hunter Wilds

Beyond the standard character transfer procedure, Capcom has shared some additional tips to streamline your character transition. Here’s what I found helpful when I recently made the switch myself!

  • Make sure Monster Hunter Wilds is fully downloaded and installed before transferring your data. Playing while downloading—using services like PlayGo on the PlayStation 5 or Streaming Installation on the Xbox Series X|S—may prevent the transfer due to missing game data.
  • If you have finalized your character creation without transferring your beta data, you can only retrieve it by using a Character Edit Voucher or Palico Edit Voucher. 
  • If you have played both OBT 1 and OBT 2, the character creation data saved at the end of OBT 2 will be used for the data transfer. 
  • Some design codes and other elements in the full version may differ from the beta. It is also mentioned that certain designs or unforeseen issues may interrupt the character data transfer process.
