Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Extended Due to PSN Outage

Capcom always intended to hold two Monster Hunter Wilds open beta test 2 sessions in February 2025, but now the second one will last longer due to the PlayStation Network outage that kept PS5 owners from connecting to PSN to participate. It will now last one day longer. This means it ends on February 17, 2025, rather than February 16, 2025. 

Here are the exact dates compared, so you can see about the new timing for the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta test 2. This extension applies to every platform, even though it was only the PS5 experiencing an outage due to the PSN issue. 

• Old Date and Time: Starts at 7pm PT/10pm ET on February 13, 2025, then ends at 6:59pm PT/9:59pm ET on February 16, 2025.
• New Date and Time: Starts at 7pm PT/10pm ET on February 13, 2025, then ends at 6:59pm PT/9:59pm ET on February 17, 2025.

An updated infographic for the beta appeared too. You can see and save that below. It also confirmed that crossplay is on and doesn’t require Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus.

Remember that if you make a character during this beta, you can carry over its design over. As long as you make the avatar in the beta, save, and then play briefly, that will carry over. However, the design codes in the beta can’t be used in the full game.

Monster Hunter Wilds will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 28, 2025, the Benchmark Tool is available now for PCs via Steam, and the next open beta test will start on February 6, 2025.
