The publisher announced on 14 July that the base game will receive a <strong>permanent price reduction from 4 August 2026<\/strong> \u2014 no sale, no time limit, just a lower price going forward \u2014 alongside an overhaul of its digital edition lineup.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mhw-ss1-open-world.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds open world environment with hunter in feathered armour\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Capcom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Monster Hunter Wilds Price Cut: How Much Are We Talking?<\/h2>\n<p>Capcom has confirmed the permanent price reduction but has not disclosed exact new pricing for most markets ahead of the 4 August changeover \u2014 so we&#8217;ll know the full regional picture (including the SGD price on Steam and the PlayStation Store) once the switch flips. What we do know: in Japan, the base game drops from <strong>\u00a58,990 to \u00a54,990<\/strong> \u2014 a cut of roughly 45%. Industry sources covering other markets are quoting a similar ballpark reduction globally, which would bring the current US$69.99 \/ \u00a364.99 standard price down significantly. Keep an eye on your preferred storefront from 4 August for the confirmed SGD figure.<\/p>\n<p>The timing makes sense. Monster Hunter Wilds launched in February 2025 to huge sales but received a mixed critical reception \u2014 strong on spectacle and scale, shakier on performance at launch and endgame depth. Patches over the past year have addressed many of those criticisms, and with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/monster-hunter-wilds-ascendance-2027\/\">Ascendance expansion bringing G-rank content in 2027<\/a>, Capcom clearly wants to grow the player base before that drop arrives.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a_wNFT4j6qI\" title=\"Monster Hunter Wilds - Launch Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Monster Hunter Wilds &#8211; Launch Trailer \u2014 via Monster Hunter on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What Editions Are Changing on 4 August?<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the base-game price cut, Capcom is streamlining its digital lineup.
