Monster Hunter Rise is now available for just $4.99 on Nintendo Switch, marking one of the strongest discounts yet for Capcom’s acclaimed action RPG. The digital deal cuts the game from its regular $39.99 price and is available through October 16, 2026. Nintendo’s official store currently lists the game at $4.99, an 87% discount.
Released for Nintendo Switch in 2021, Monster Hunter Rise remains a strong option for players looking for a content-rich action RPG. Its hunting-focused gameplay is built around tracking monsters, gathering materials and crafting increasingly powerful equipment.
Monster Hunter Rise Offers Fast Combat and Unique Mobility
One of Monster Hunter Rise’s biggest additions is the Palamute, a canine Buddy that players can ride across the game’s environments. Nintendo also introduced Wirebug abilities, giving hunters new ways to traverse the map and execute aerial attacks during combat.
The game takes place around Kamura Village and features a distinct Japanese-inspired setting. Players can hunt alone or cooperate with others while experimenting with different weapons, Switch Skills and Silkbind Attacks.
The current Nintendo Switch deal also makes Monster Hunter Rise particularly accessible to newcomers. The game is supported on Nintendo Switch 2, with Nintendo stating that its game behavior is consistent with the original Switch version.
Players looking for the expanded experience can also find the Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak package discounted during the current sale. This gives newcomers an opportunity to pick up the base game and its major expansion at a significantly reduced price.
With the $4.99 price available until October 16, Monster Hunter Rise is currently one of the cheapest ways to experience Capcom’s modern hunting RPG on Nintendo Switch.
