Capcom has unveiled an open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. PS Plus subscribers will gain early access on October 28, while PC, Xbox Series X|S players, and non-PS Plus subscribers on PS5 will be able to join in on October 31. Cross-play functionality will be supported across all platforms.
Participants in the open beta will receive a unique pendant that can be used to adorn their weapons or Seikret mount if they choose to purchase the full game. Here are the specific times for when the open beta begins:
The open beta will end on November 3 at 6:59 PM PT / 9:59 PM ET, featuring three distinct experiences. Capcom mentions that players can explore the comprehensive character creation tool—character creation data will be transferable to the full game upon its release—a Story Trial, and the free-roaming Doshaguma Hunt. Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on February 28, 2025, and if you're considering a preorder, you can currently save up to $20 on the PC version. For those interested in Monster Hunter merchandise, the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster guitar is available for $2,000 if you reside in Japan and have the means to indulge. Just a reminder: no Stairway.
For additional details, you can review the official Monster Hunter Wilds PC requirements, which have raised concerns for some players, and understand why this might be the most accessible entry point for newcomers to the franchise. In case you missed it, a new trailer has been released, showcasing several of the beasts you'll be hunting. Among the new additions to the bestiary are a mysterious monster known as the Black Flame by the Azuz people, the armored Ajarakan, and the Rompopolo that thrives in areas with deep oil silts.
