Is Monster Hunter Wilds Coming to Xbox Game Pass?

It’s common for Capcom to make their games available on Xbox Game Pass. If Monster Hunter World joins this service, it could broaden the reach of this popular series even further, suggesting a potential collaboration between Capcom and Microsoft.

The Monster Hunter series appears to be expanding significantly, along with its formidable creatures. Monster Hunter World marked new territory and achieved global success, selling approximately 25 million copies, making it clear that Capcom has another successful title under their belt. Monster Hunter Wilds aims to conquer the year 2025, and the Action Role-Playing Game (ARPG) is already generating significant interest.

Given the numerous games set to join Xbox Game Pass this year, securing Wilds as one of them would indeed be a significant achievement.

Can You Play Monster Hunter Wilds on Xbox Game Pass?

Monster Hunter Wilds is not currently gearing up for an Xbox Game Pass day one launch.

Game Pass recently added Sniper Elite Resistance and Avowed, which are among the early 2025 hits, to its subscription service. Regrettably, Monster Hunter Wilds will not be joining the lineup.

It’s important to note that Capcom hasn’t explicitly confirmed that Monster Hunter Wilds will debut on Xbox Game Pass. While there are typical signs that could suggest otherwise, such as the absence of the Game Pass logo in any official trailers for the game, Microsoft tends to be transparent about Game Pass compatibility. So, while it’s not definitively ruled out, we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Capcom for confirmation.

Moreover, the Monster Hunter Wilds page on Microsoft Store doesn’t show it being part of their subscription service. Since there’s no “Included with Game Pass” indicator for Wilds, it implies that the latest Monster Hunter game is not planned for inclusion in Microsoft’s service offering.

Will Monster Hunter Wilds Come to Xbox Game Pass?

Previous iterations of Monster Hunter have made their way onto Xbox Game Pass, which suggests it’s likely that Monster Hunter World may also join the Xbox Game Pass library at some point in the future.

Currently, Monster Hunter Rise is available on Game Pass, but it’s important to note that it took a couple of years for this transition to occur. Therefore, don’t expect the Wilds expansion to arrive on Game Pass in the immediate future. If you’re not eager to start playing the ARPG right away and have Game Pass, consider waiting to save a bit of money before diving into your hunts.
