Capcom has slashed the price of Monster Hunter Wilds permanently. The move comes as the publisher announced new DLC bundles for the action RPG.
The standard edition now costs $59.99, down from $69.99. That is a 14% reduction.
New Bundles and Regional Adjustments
The price drop applies to all digital versions on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Physical copies may vary by retailer.
Capcom also introduced a “Deluxe Edition” bundle at $79.99. It includes the base game and a “Seikret” mount skin. A “Premium Deluxe Edition” at $99.99 adds a Season Pass for future DLC.
| Edition | New Price (USD) | Included Content |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $59.99 | Base game |
| Deluxe | $79.99 | Base game + Seikret skin |
| Premium Deluxe | $99.99 | Base game + Seikret skin + Season Pass |
The price cut is permanent, not a temporary sale. Analysts see it as a move to boost sales ahead of the first major expansion, expected later this year.

Capcom’s decision follows a broader trend. Sony recently faced backlash over plans to phase out physical game discs, as reported by PCMag UK. That shift could accelerate digital-only pricing strategies.
Separately, demand for PS5 disc drives surged 312% after Sony’s announcement, according to Mezha. The spike highlights consumer resistance to all-digital ecosystems.
