Save Data can be shared and transferred between the same platforms. While Crossplay is available, note that you cannot share save data to other platforms.

Can You Create More Than 3 Characters in the Final Version?

In previous titles, you could create 3 characters. It looks like you can create more than 3 characters in Monster Hunter Wilds as well.

You can transfer save data; however, data such as Hunter friends, follows, followers, and circles you belong to will be reset. Note that this information is from the beta version and is subject to change.
