Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Gets Extra 24 Hours After PSN Outage

Author : Liam Feb 26,2025

Capcom extends the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test by 24 hours following a PlayStation Network outage. The outage, lasting approximately 24 hours, began Friday, February 7th, at 3 PM PT, impacting online gameplay and server authentication for many titles, including the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds beta. In response to the widespread disruption, Sony 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. To compensate for this disruption, Capcom has announced a 24-hour extension to the next beta session. The revised 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

Capcom confirmed that participation bonuses, redeemable in the full game, remain available during this extended beta period. Despite the previous network issues, beta participants had the opportunity to engage with the challenging new monster, Arkveld.

Monster Hunter Wilds is set for official release on February 28th, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For further details on this exciting hunting adventure, refer to IGN First coverage, including the Monster Hunter Wilds Final Preview. Additional resources, such as a guide to the beta (including multiplayer, weapon types, and confirmed monsters), are also available.
