With Monster Hunter Wilds launching February 28th, time is running out to claim those enticing pre-order bonuses. Should you pre-order? Let's examine the pre-order incentives and available editions to help you decide.
Platform Availability:
Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom's latest monster-hunting adventure, arrives on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Absence from Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 is likely due to hardware limitations. A potential Nintendo Switch 2 release remains unconfirmed.
