Monster Hunter: Wilds is the sixth main installment in Capcom’s bestselling action RPG series, Monster Hunter, which began in 2004. The game is set to release on February 28, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, but players already had a chance to try it out during an open beta in November 2024.
Will the game be available in Game Pass, allowing players to grab it cheaper than the standard launch price? Here’s everything we know so far!
Game Pass History with Monster Hunter Titles
By subscribing to Xbox Game Pass, players gain access to a vast library of games for a relatively low monthly fee — eliminating the need to buy individual titles. This makes the Xbox subscription an excellent way to play even the latest releases at a reduced cost.
The Monster Hunter series has been included in the subscription in the past. Titles like Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter World were available through Game Pass, making it a natural assumption that Monster Hunter: Wilds might follow the same path.
Current Status: Is It Confirmed for Game Pass?
Unfortunately, the answer for now is: no. There is currently no confirmation regarding whether or when Monster Hunter: Wilds will be added to Game Pass. What we do know for sure is that it will not be available in Game Pass at launch.
Neither Capcom nor Microsoft have provided official statements about a potential Game Pass release, so for now, all we have to go on are rumors.
However, considering that previous Monster Hunter titles have appeared in Game Pass and Monster Hunter Now has an ongoing partnership with Game Pass Ultimate (offering exclusive perks through the subscription), it’s highly likely that Monster Hunter: Wilds will eventually make its way into the Game Pass library.
Conclusion: Stay Tuned for Updates
So, when will Monster Hunter: Wilds come to Game Pass? For now, we can only wait for official announcements from Capcom or Microsoft. Stay tuned for updates!
