Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Transfer a Prologue Demo Save

Start with the Prologue Demo’s scope

The Prologue Demo announcement describes a free opening section, including character creation, through Chapter 1-3: To the Forest. It lists more than 26 GB of required storage. Online features and Photo Mode are unavailable in that demo, so their absence there is an explicit product limit. [1]

Check the full game before attempting a transfer

Version 1.042.00.00 adds Prologue Demo save transfer. Its stated condition is that no full-version save data exists when launching the full game. Check that condition before starting a full-game save; the announcement does not provide a procedure for merging demo progress into an existing full-version save. [1]

Steps

1. Use the full-game version with Prologue Demo transfer support, added in 1.042.00.00. [1]
2. Launch the full game while no full-version save data exists to transfer the Prologue Demo save. [1]
