Capcom extends the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test by 24 hours following a PlayStation Network outage. The PSN outage, lasting approximately 24 hours starting Friday, February 7th, 3 PM PT, impacted online gaming, including the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds beta. Sony attributed the disruption to an "operational issue" and compensated PlayStation Plus subscribers with five extra days of service.
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta, originally scheduled from February 6th to 9th, was significantly curtailed. In response, Capcom announced a 24-hour extension to the next beta session. The revised schedule is:
Thursday, February 13th, 7 PM PT / Friday, February 14th, 3 AM GMT – Monday, February 17th, 6:59 PM PT / February 18th, 2:59 AM GMT
Capcom confirmed that participation bonuses, redeemable in the full game, remain available during this extended beta period. Despite the previous disruption, beta testers had the opportunity to engage with the challenging new monster, Arkveld.
Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on February 28th, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
