Description:
Here's when the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta launches on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Monster Hunter Wilds open beta will let players try out the game ahead of its release next year. There's a variety of missions to take on, from a small slice of a story mission to repeatable monster hunts. All in all, it looks
set to give players a good opportunity to experience some of the new weapon mechanics and see the new environments in action.

From what we've seen so far, and from what we played in our Monster Hunter Wilds preview , the game is primed to push the series forward, with evolving landscapes and more complex monster behaviors. This time around, you can
bring multiple weapons into hunts with you, a huge change that'll likely
allow for more build experimentation. It's changes like these that make us hopeful that Monster Hunter Wilds will end up on our best crossplay games
list by the end of the year.

Here's when you'll be able to play the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta,
whether that's as a PS Plus subscriber, a PS5 player, an Xbox player, or someone playing on PC. We'll also detail what to expect from the beta, including rewards that'll transfer over to the full game at launch.
