Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Extended Due to PSN Outage

By LucasFeb 24,2025

Capcom extends the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test following a significant PlayStation Network outage. The PSN disruption, lasting approximately 24 hours, began Friday, February 7th, at 3 PM PT, preventing online gameplay. Sony attributed the outage to an "operational issue" and compensated PlayStation Plus subscribers with five additional days of service.

This outage unfortunately impacted the highly anticipated second beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, originally scheduled from February 6th to 9th. To compensate for the lost playtime, Capcom has announced a 24-hour extension to the next beta session.

The revised beta dates are:

February 13th, 7 PM PT / February 14th, 3 AM GMT – 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 weekend's interruption, beta participants still had the opportunity to engage with the challenging new monster, Arkveld.

Monster Hunter Wilds' official launch is set for February 28th, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
