How to Transfer Demo Save Data to Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Full Game

Already sunk hours into the Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo and wondering if all that progress will carry over? Good news — it absolutely does, and it’s surprisingly simple. Here’s everything you need to know.

Before You Transfer — Check These First

Don’t skip this step or you’ll hit a wall. Make sure:

• ✅ You played the demo on the same account and platform where you bought the full game
• ✅ You’ve completed the demo (that means defeating Yian Garuga and watching the childhood ending cutscene)
• ✅ You haven’t deleted your demo save folder on PC (if you did, re-download the demo and restore via Steam Cloud Saves)

Note: Cross-platform saves are not available. Progress from PS5 cannot transfer to PC, and vice versa.

Step-by-Step: How to Transfer Your Save Data

1. Launch Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (full game)
2. From the main menu, scroll to the bottom of the options list
3. Select “Transfer Trial Version Data”
4. A confirmation prompt will appear — your demo save has been detected
5. Hit confirm and resume your game. Done!

That’s it. Your Monstie collection, equipment, and story progress all carry over seamlessly.

What the Demo Actually Includes

The Monster Hunter Stories demo (Trial Version) is more generous than most. You get:

• The full opening chapter of the main story
• Access to Sunpetal Plains region in Azuria
• Full character customization (editable as many times as you like)
• Habitat Restoration system
• Monstie Egg collection and party editing
• Even a chance to encounter the Elder Dragon Namielle

The only limits: you cap at Level 10, and Trade Points/Monsties are restricted.

• Hakum Rider Outfit
