Capcom extends the Monster Hunter Wilds beta following a PlayStation Network outage. The outage, lasting approximately 24 hours, began Friday, February 7th, at 3 PM PT, preventing online gameplay for PlayStation users. Sony attributed the disruption to an "operational issue" and compensated PlayStation Plus subscribers with five extra days of service.
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta, a highly anticipated event running from February 6th to 9th, was significantly impacted. In response to the disruption, Capcom has extended the next beta session by 24 hours. This revised schedule now runs from Thursday, February 13th, at 7 PM PT (February 14th, 3 AM GMT) to Monday, February 17th, at 6:59 PM PT (February 18th, 2:59 AM GMT).
Participation bonuses, also available in the full game, remain accessible during this extended beta period. Despite the previous outage, beta testers engaged with the game's challenging new monster, Arkveld.
Monster Hunter Wilds officially launches on February 28th, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
