Update: Capcom has that the next open beta test for Monster Hunter Wilds will run for an extra 24 hours to make up for the recent PlayStation Networkꦐ outage.

Due to kick off at 7pm PT on February 13 (3am GMT on February 14 if you're in the UK), you've ꦆnow got more Monster Hunter goodness for an extra day across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

Original story: Capcom is thinking about extending the 澳洲幸运🐠5开奖号码历史查询:second Monster Hunter Wilds open✱ beta because of the recent PSN outages.

The pu♍blisher acknowledged that the outages caused "inconvenience as yo💛u were unable to participate in the test" in a recent social media . "Considering that a significant portion of the test period was cut short, we are currently examining the possibility of conducting an additional approximately 24-hour session next weekend or later."

The PlaySta✤tion Network was down for basically the entirety of yesterday, February 8, meaning it was impossible for most people to play o🦂nline games, digitally-owned gཧames, and connect to services like the PlayStation Store. The PSN outage also came at a particularly bad time for fans of slaying big beasts, though.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds' se﷽cond open beta was set to take place across two weekends with the first running from February 6 to February 9. Of course, the outages meant that PS5 players couldn't access the beta or its online features for a essentially third of its runtime, but it seems like Capcom might be making up for it in the future.

Sony itself hasn't fully detailed what caused the issues, although it did state that "network services have fully recovered from an operational issue." To mꦫake up for blunder, it's automatically giving "all PlayStation Plus members" an "additional 5 days of service."

Elsewhere in the game, Monster Hunte🍰r Wilds fans were delig🤡hted to see the return of the nightmarish bug that turns everyone into a PS1-style blob. It didn't come as too much of a surprise since Capcom warned folks ahead of time that improvements made since the first beta wouldn't surface until the game's full release on February 28. However, even the developers were happy to see fans embracing th꧙e cursed bug.
