Curious about whether Monster Hunter is making its way to Xbox Game Pass? While we eagerly await the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds on Xbox Series X|S on February 28, 2025, Capcom hasn’t revealed any plans for it to debut on Xbox Game Pass. But don’t lose hope just yet! Remember, Monster Hunter Rise eventually found its way to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and xCloud.
Back in December 2023, Capcom dropped a bombshell with the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds, the much-anticipated next entry to triumph Monster Hunter World, which still holds the title as Capcom’s all-time best-seller. This installment is set to elevate the franchise with a mix of innovative and revamped combat features, expansive biomes like never before, and a lineup of both terrifying and familiar creatures. Not to mention, it’s finally bringing crossplay between home consoles and PC.
After a year and change of excitement fueled by trailers and gameplay streams, the wait is almost over. Monster Hunter Wilds is on the brink of launching for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam come February 28, 2025.
But for Xbox enthusiasts, there’s a slight hiccup. Capcom has yet to confirm if the game will be offered on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass at its initial launch. This service, known for giving players access to an overwhelming number of games for a modest monthly fee, seems like a perfect home for Wilds. It could open doors for those unable to pay full price to experience the thrill and might even convince them to commit to a purchase later on.
It’s worth considering that Monster Hunter Wilds might eventually grace Xbox Game Pass. Its predecessor, Monster Hunter Rise, made its way there after initially launching on the Nintendo Switch and PC. So, there’s a glimmer of hope that history might just repeat itself down the line after its debut.
So gear up for Monster Hunter Wilds, the new-gen follow-up to the celebrated Monster Hunter World, as it prepares to roll out on February 28, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC through Steam. Keep your eyes peeled for any updates on its potential entry into the Xbox Game Pass lineup!
