Monster Hunter Wilds: All Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions Revealed
With *Monster Hunter Wilds* set to launch soon, it's your final opportunity to secure those enticing pre-order bonuses. But is it worth the rush? Let's explore all the pre-order bonuses and editions available for *Monster Hunter Wilds* to help you make an informed decision.
Which Platforms Is Monster Hunter Wilds Available On?
*Monster Hunter Wilds*, the latest addition to Capcom's acclaimed monster-slaying franchise, is scheduled to hit the shelves on February 28. You can dive into the action on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Unfortunately, if you're a fan of older consoles, you'll be disappointed to know it won't be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4, due to the game's demanding hardware requirements. There's a glimmer of hope for a future release on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2, but no official word has been released yet.
In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll explore a vast open world, taking on a variety of monsters, from the colossal Uth Duna to the fearsome dragon-like Rathalos. While Rathalos is a familiar foe, Uth Duna presents an exciting new challenge for hunters.

If you decide to pre-order *Monster Hunter Wilds* before the February 28 deadline, you'll receive the following bonuses:
