Capcom extends the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test by 24 hours following a PlayStation Network outage.
The PlayStation Network (PSN) experienced a significant service disruption starting Friday, February 7th, at 3 PM PT, lasting approximately 24 hours. Sony attributed the outage to an "operational issue," offering PlayStation Plus subscribers five extra days of service as compensation.
This outage directly impacted the highly anticipated second beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, prematurely ending the weekend session scheduled from February 6th to 9th. In response, Capcom announced a 24-hour extension to the next beta period.
The revised beta schedule is as follows:
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 beta.
Despite the previous PSN downtime, beta participants had the opportunity to engage with the challenging new monster, Arkveld.
Monster Hunter Wilds is slated for official release on February 28th, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. For comprehensive details on this upcoming hunting adventure, consult IGN First coverage, including the Monster Hunter Wilds Final Preview.
