Players can transfer their character creation data from the beta to the full game in Monster Hunter Wilds. Here is how to do it.

Monster Hunter Wilds, the much-anticipated title from one of Capcom’s flagship franchises, is all set to launch. Monster Hunter Wilds featured two open beta tests, where OBT 1 took place in October 2024 and OBT 2 was held in February 2025 in two phases. The beta allowed players to create and customize both their Hunter and Palico with an in-depth character customization system.
Capcom has confirmed that players can transfer their character creation data from the OBT to the full version. This is especially beneficial for players who want to retain their Hunter and Palico appearance, preserving the designs they carefully crafted.
The ability to transfer character creation data to the full game is one of the key benefits of participating in the beta version. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to transfer character creation data from the beta to the full game in Monster Hunter Wilds.
How To Transfer Character Save Data From OBT to Monster Hunter Wilds Full Game
Transferring the character data from the beta to the full version in Monster Hunter Wilds is simple. Your character data from the beta version was automatically saved when the beta ended. If you want to retain the data, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have stable internet and launch Monster Hunter Wilds once the full version is available.
- Open the Design menu during the Hunter and Palico character creation screen.
- If you have played the beta version, you will see an option labeled “Beta Test Data” at the bottom of the list.
- Selecting this option transfers your character data from the beta to the full game.

Things To Consider When Transferring Character Save Data in Monster Hunter Wilds
In addition to the basic transfer process, Capcom has mentioned some other things to help your character transfer process.
- Make sure Monster Hunter Wilds is fully downloaded and installed before transferring your data. Playing while downloading—using services like PlayGo on the PlayStation 5 or Streaming Installation on the Xbox Series X|S—may prevent the transfer due to missing game data.
- If you have finalized your character creation without transferring your beta data, you can only retrieve it by using a Character Edit Voucher or Palico Edit Voucher.
- If you have played both OBT 1 and OBT 2, the character creation data saved at the end of OBT 2 will be used for the data transfer.
- Some design codes and other elements in the full version may differ from the beta. It is also mentioned that certain designs or unforeseen issues may interrupt the character data transfer process.
