Capcom extends the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test due to a PlayStation Network outage. The outage, lasting approximately 24 hours, began Friday, February 7th, at 3 PM PT, preventing online gameplay. In response to the disruption, Sony compensated PlayStation Plus subscribers with five extra days of service.
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta, originally scheduled for February 6th-9th, was significantly impacted. To compensate for the lost playtime, Capcom has extended the next beta session by 24 hours. The new dates are:
Thursday, February 13th, 7 PM PT / Friday, February 14th, 3 AM GMT – Monday, February 17th, 6:59 PM PT / Tuesday, February 18th, 2:59 AM GMT
Participation bonuses, redeemable in the full game, remain available during this extended period. Despite the outage, beta testers had the opportunity to engage with the challenging new monster, Arkveld.
Monster Hunter Wilds officially launches on February 28th, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
