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, impacting online gameplay and server authentication for many titles, 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 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 / February 18th, 2:59 AM GMT
Capcom confirmed that participation bonuses, redeemable in the full game, remain available during this extended period. Despite the previous disruption, beta participants had the opportunity to engage with Arkveld, a formidable new monster.
Monster Hunter Wilds officially launches February 28th, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
