Monster Hunter Wilds has had quite the turbulent journey since its 2025 release, grappling with a climb from negative to middling reviews and ongoing performance issues on PC – but there's good news regarding the action RPG now.
It's getting a permanent price reduction from Capcom, to be precise – and new DLC bundles.
The studio reveals as much in an exciting new post, writing, "Hunters, we are streamlining the available options for new and returning hunters joining Monster Hunter Wilds. We plan to discontinue sales of some of our existing bundle products and release new value bundle products." Folks can expect these to start rolling in on August 3.
Attached is a little infographic that explains the Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition, and Cosmetic DLC Pass are goin' in the woodchipper later this summer to make way for the new bundles.
First up, there's the Monster Hunter Wilds Gold Edition, which includes the full game and DLC collection. Then there's the Cosmetic DLC Collection, which includes 10 DLC packs, including the Extras cosmetic DLC Pack.

Finally, there's the Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack (I think I've written "cosmetic" so many times I no longer remember what it means). This one boasts "select paid cosmetic DLC only previously available as standalone products."
Capcom clarifies, "The premium bonuses will be included in the new bundles above" – but that's not all. That price reduction I mentioned earlier on? Look forward to it on August 4.
"In addition," as Capcom reveals, "the Monster Hunter Wilds base game will receive a permanent price reduction starting August 4, 2026." That's pretty good news – although the team doesn't specify what this reduction will look like.
As it stands now, the base game costs a whopping $69.99. I suppose this figure might align more nicely with Monster Hunter World, which is a whole $40 less. Perhaps in the $50 or $60 ballpark?
There's no telling just yet, but for now, fans seem pretty thrilled. As one comment reads, "Oh wow, the permanent price reduction is nice." Others request more changes from Capcom – but I say, one step at a time.
At the least, the studio is heading in the right direction.
