Within a couple of short months from now, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to make its global debut.

Pre-orders for this game are now available, offering three variants that come with varying amounts of additional content.

For your convenience, we’ve gathered details about every pre-orderable edition of Monster Hunter Wilds in a single location, allowing you to make a well-informed decision when deciding which version to buy.

Monster Hunter Wilds’ Physical Editions Vs Digital Editions

As a game analyst, I’m excited to share that Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled for release on February 28, 2025. This epic adventure will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. For those preferring physical copies, there are two editions each for the Xbox and PlayStation versions. However, there are three digital editions that can be purchased across all platforms.

In stores, you can find two versions of Monster Hunter Wilds: the Standard Edition priced at $69.99 and the SteelBook Edition costing $74.99. Neither includes any extra DLC, but the SteelBook Edition comes with a special steel case showcasing artwork of the game’s main monster, Arkveld.

As a researcher, I am excited to announce that the Digital Versions of Monster Hunter Wilds are soon to be accessible for purchase across numerous digital marketplaces. These editions will be offered in three distinct formats: the Standard Edition, the Deluxe Edition, and the Premium Deluxe Edition.

In essence, similar to the physical edition, the digital Standard Edition of Monster Hunter Wilds (with a suggested retail price of $69.99) comes equipped with just the main game, as opposed to any additional content.

In addition, the Deluxe Version ($89.99) and the Premium Deluxe Version ($109.99) will offer an extensive collection of cosmetic items to personalize your character’s appearance. These include layered armor sets, various hairstyles, emotes, and a host of additional features. Here’s what you’ll get with the Deluxe Edition of Monster Hunter Wilds, followed by the items included in the Premium Deluxe Edition.

Monster Hunter Wilds preorder bonuses

By reserving any edition of Monster Hunter Wilds in advance, you’ll receive not one but two bonus DLC items as a reward. One of these is the Guild Knight Layered Armor collection, while the other is the Hero Charm talisman.

For those who may not know, the Layered Armor feature in Monster Hunter games enables players to customize the visual aspect of their worn armor without compromising its battle efficiency. In this instance, the Guild Knight Armor sports a Three Musketeers-esque design, complete with red feathered hats, red vests featuring long tails, white shirts adorned with puffy sleeves, leather pants, and high lace-up boots.

Meanwhile, the Hero Charm amulet serves as an additional piece of equipment for your character, providing them with enhanced passive statistics during battles. These bonuses will aid your character in enduring the initial fights within the game.

By the way, should you be in possession of saved game files from playing Monster Hunter World and its extension, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, you’ll receive some complimentary items for your Palico friend in Monster Hunter Rise.

By saving data in Monster Hunter World, players will receive the Felyne Leather armor set for their Palico and the Felyne Acorn Spade weapon. Similarly, save data from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne provides the Felyne Duffel armor set and the Felyne Trekker Peckaxe weapon.

In a leap forward for one of Capcom’s top-tier Xbox and PC games, Monster Hunter Wilds, the upgraded sequel to Monster Hunter World, is set to debut on February 28, 2025. It will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and personal computers via Steam.
