The recent 24-hour PSN outage significantly disrupted many games, leading to changes in plans for numerous limited-time events, effectively trimming an entire day from their schedules. In particular, Monster Hunter Wilds has announced it will extend its beta testing period by an additional day, although the specifics of this arrangement are still being finalized. In a statement directed at PS5 players, the team expressed gratitude for their understanding during the recent service issues, indicating that the Open Beta Test 2 (OBT2) will be considered for an added 24-hour session in the future. As this is an exceptionally rare outage for the platform, not seen since 2014, game developers are compelled to adjust their strategies as live events become more prevalent in gaming. Other titles such as Destiny 2 and Warframe have also made similar announcements to account for the lost time. Despite the operational issues that led to the outage, Sony has not provided elaborate explanations, leaving many details unclear. Players should keep an eye on announcements for game extensions or compensations, and Monster Hunter fans can look forward to more beta opportunities ahead of the game's launch on February 28.
