Monster Hunter Wilds gets a dangerously good price drop at Amazon and Woot following its release
Discounts for those PS5, Xbox, and PC.
Spring sales are in full swing, bringing plenty of discounts on games, but some of the best deals aren’t sticking around for long. Woot recently had Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5 at a steep discount, but it’s already out of stock. Fortunately, Amazon still has it for just $62.99 on PS5, while Woot continues to have it for just $54.99 on Xbox, making it one of the best prices available right now. In the UK, it's also down to just £49.99 at Currys right now as well.

If you're looking to secure a copy ahead of launch, this deal is worth considering—especially given how much excitement is building around the game. Monster Hunter Wilds is shaping up to be a major step forward for the series, and our reviewer, Dom Peppiatt, had a lot to say about it:
"Monster Hunter Wilds is the most sophisticated Monster Hunter game, ever. It is absolutely teeming with stuff to do, it has been streamlined in a smart, player-friendly way, and it layers on so many little boons and boosts compared to Worlds that it’s impossible to see where Capcom could possibly go next. You could argue that Capcom has sanded down all the rough edges and erased the personality of the series in the process, but I think that's uncharitable: I think this is a more accessible game, with as much depth as World, but it's just tucked away in the folds of the post-game. And that will turn people off."
"But the new monsters are fun, ferocious, and weird. The nudges and nuances to the weapons are fascinating and make you feel overpowered, without trivialising the fighting. The crafting process feels quicker than it used to, but you can still grind for the perfect set if you want. The drop-in, drop-out online multiplayer is seamless and succinct, and the netcode (on PS5 Pro, with crossplay on) has never failed me. Putting aside some stale story and a few odd choices regarding pacing and player autonomy, this game is exactly what I wanted from the PS5/Xbox Series era of Monster Hunter."
With deep combat, intriguing new monsters, and streamlined mechanics, Monster Hunter Wilds looks like a must-play for fans of the franchise. And if you want to grab a copy before launch, Amazon's $62.99 deal for PS5 is still available, alongside Woot and Fanatical for Xbox and PC—but for how long is anyone's guess.
