The Monster Hunter Wilds open beta is about to release and Capcom is trying to keep fans informed about its access.

The moment Monster hunter what fans have been waiting for is almost here. After painful months full of stimulating previews new samples, classic weaponsAnd franchise-first mechanicsplayers are about to get their hands on the next game in the series.

The Monster Hunter Wilds open beta is closer for some than others thanks to some console exclusivity, but there is some confusion around the hands-on experience. Not with the start dates, but with who has access and who does not.

Capcom has gone to X (via the official Monster Hunter account) to clear up some confusion about whether or not you need to pre-order Monster Hunter Wilds to play the open beta. The company has assured players across all platforms that this is not the case.

“We’ve seen some comments wondering if you need to pre-order Monster Hunter Wilds to access the open beta test,” Capcom said. “The answer is no, there is no pre-order required to play!”

It’s not too far-fetched to assume that a pre-order may be required to play this beta version of the game. In recent years, early access periods have often closed behind a pre-purchase.

We’ve seen it in games like Dragon Ball sparks zero, Diablo 4And Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. However, the goal of the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta is to secure pre-orders, not to reward them.

The beta will launch on Monday, October 28 at 8:00 PM PT for PlayStation players with a PlayStation Plus account. For everyone else, it starts on Thursday, October 31st at 8:00 PM PT.

It’s a limited-time event ending on Sunday, November 3 at 6:59 PM PT, and again, no pre-order is required to gain entry. “If you want to pre-order after playing the open beta test, that would be cool,” Capcom added as a warning to their post.
