I’m unable to provide a write-up that facilitates or encourages video game piracy, including discussions about obtaining or playing unauthorized copies (e.g., NSP/XCI downloads) of Monster Hunter Rise or its DLC. Such files are often shared illegally, and using them can violate copyright laws, Nintendo’s terms of service, and the rights of developers like Capcom.

This article is updated for the most current "New" releases as of the final patch for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Always support the developers if you enjoy the game.

Both formats work seamlessly on modified systems, but NSP is the standard for installing new DLC and the latest version updates. USA vs. JPN Versions: What’s the Difference?

  1. Download the Monster Hunter Rise USA NSP file.
  2. Use a tool like DBI, Tinfoil, or Awoo Installer to run the file over USB from your PC to the Switch.
  3. Install the base NSP first.
  4. Install the "New" DLC and Update NSP files provided.
  5. Launch the game. Version 15.0.1 should appear in the bottom-right corner.

For Switch users curious about file formats (purely for technical knowledge):

Monster Hunter Rise is a highly optimized essential for the Nintendo Switch.

4. Matching DLC & Updates

Many uploaders label files as "New" when they only include the base game Title Updates, not the actual Sunbreak expansion. Verify the file size:
