With the release of the full game just a few months away, Monster Hunter Wilds is looking to perfect its formula through player participation in a free open beta. This beta kicked off a few days early for PlayStation Plus members, and is now open to everyone on every platform to jump into. The beta aims to give players a good taste of how the game is going to play when it launches in February 2025, and it does so through a decent chunk of content. This includes access to the full character and Palico creators, the opening cutscene to the game, and several hunts to tackle.
