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. In response to the widespread disruption, Sony compensated PlayStation Plus subscribers with five extra days of service.
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta, scheduled from February 6th to 9th, was significantly impacted. To compensate for the lost playtime, Capcom has announced a 24-hour extension to the next beta session. This revised schedule runs from Thursday, February 13th, 7 PM PT (February 14th, 3 AM GMT) to Monday, February 17th, 6:59 PM PT (February 18th, 2:59 AM GMT).
Participation bonuses, identical to those offered in the full game, remain available during this extended beta period. Despite the previous disruption, beta testers had the opportunity to engage with Arkveld, a formidable new monster.
