Monster Hunter Stories 3 is the latest instalment in the RPG franchise, and it’s bound to be incredibly popular, especially amongst its die-hard fanbase. If you happen to be one of them and have an Xbox, now’s a great time to see if you can pick up for free with Game Pass.
The online games service remains as divisive as ever, with hefty price increases putting a dampener on a great line-up of available games. It’s undeniably great to have access to a huge library of games, and the roster continues to evolve, with new games added regularly.
If you’re wondering whether Monster Hunter Stories 3 is one of the many added to Xbox Game Pass, then you’re in the right place, as Insider Gaming has it all laid out below.
Can You Play Monster Hunter Stories 3 On Xbox Game Pass?
Monster Hunter Stories 3 is not coming to Xbox Game Pass at launch, so if you want to get your hands on it, you’ll need to pay full price.
It’s a bummer for sure, but it’s not entirely unexpected. Not many Capcom titles come to Xbox Game Pass day and date with launch, and it doesn’t look like Monster Hunter Stories 3 is changing the narrative any time soon.

That being said, there are plenty of editions for Monster Hunter Stories 3, so you’ll have a nice selection to choose from when purchasing the title. However, if you’re not too sure about picking it up straight away, it might be worth the wait, as its Xbox Game Pass status could change in the future…
Will Monster Hunter Stories 3 Ever Come To Xbox Game Pass?
Considering that numerous Monster Hunter titles have appeared on Xbox Game Pass in the past, there’s a strong chance that Monster Hunter Stories 3 could appear on the service in the future.
The likes of Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise have both appeared on Xbox Game Pass, so there’s every chance that Monster Hunter Stories 3 could feature on the service too. However, that’s pure speculation; just because it’s happened before, doesn’t guarantee that it could happen again.
