Capcom takes responsibility for what happened on the PSN and extends the open beta of Monster Hunter Wilds

The PlayStation Network platform has been experiencing significant outages, reminding users of the issues that occurred in 2011 during the PS3 era. This situation severely affected various services and games, including the highly anticipated open beta of Monster Hunter Wilds, scheduled by Capcom for last weekend. Players encountered difficulties accessing PSN, which forced the Japanese company to cancel the game’s test before its official launch, scheduled for February 28.

Capcom has decided to do what Sony does not: compensate players

In light of this adversity, Capcom made the decision to extend the open beta dates by 24 hours, thus offering a new opportunity for users to try the game and its multiplayer capabilities. The new dates for the beta are from February 13 to 18, significantly extending the testing time post-interruption.

The company announced this extension through a message posted on Twitter, where it thanked the understanding of the hunters and notified that the additional period will begin on February 13 at 7 p.m. PT and will end on February 18 at 2:59 a.m. GMT. With this measure, Capcom aims not only to recover lost time but also to ensure that the servers are in perfect condition for the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, which promises to be one of the major releases of the year.

The PSN service outage not only impacted Capcom, but also disrupted the plans of other developers and scheduled releases. However, the Japanese company has managed to react quickly to ensure that fans have the opportunity to try out the mechanics and features of the new title before its release. The new beta is expected to be well received and help players immerse themselves in this new installment of the famous monster hunting saga.
