The beta runs from October 31st to November 3rd for all platforms, but PS Plus subscribers can play from today until October 30th.

The open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds kicks off this week, but PlayStation Plus subscribers get early access starting today at 8 PM PDT. The pre-load is currently available, making it much quicker to jump in when the beta goes live.

The early access beta is available on PS5 until October 30th, but non-PS Plus subscribers and those on other platforms can start playing from October 31st, 8 PM PDT, to November 3rd. Pre-loads for the same go live on October 30th, 8 PM PDT.

As with previous betas, players can hunt a limited roster of monsters, specifically the Chatacabra and Doshagum. You can also create and customize a Hunter with the data carrying over to the game and engage in cross-play. If you favor offline play, Support Hunters are also available.

Monster Hunter Wilds launches on February 28th, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
