Does Monster Hunter Wilds have early access so you can play early?
Monster Hunter Wilds is almost here, and after the beta, players are eager to get stuck in and get a taste for the full game. Most releases these days have some kind of early access period, but is that the case with Monster Hunter Wilds.
Early Access is usually locked behind a higher-priced edition of the game and grants you access to the game anywhere from 1-7 days early.
Unfortunately, Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t have any kind of early access period. No matter what edition of the game you have, you won’t be able to play until February 28, 2025.
While this may be disappointing, it isn’t unusual for Capcom. They haven’t adopted this kind of early access model like other publishers and tend to just offer small bonuses with higher-priced editions. If you grab the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe editions of the game, you just get some extra cosmetic DLC and bonus item packs. So, it’s up to you whether you consider those extra items worth the extra money.
Monster Hunter Wilds is set to be the biggest entry in the series, and Monster Hunter World is already the best-selling game in Capcom’s history. The game introduces a completely interconnected world for the first time in the series. It also adds a number of unique weather effects that can change how and where you are able to fight, the way monsters behave, and what resources are available.
Recently the game held a beta that was disrupted by a large-scale PSN outage – the second longest in the company’s history. Thankfully, players had an extra day to play during the second weekend of the beta. For even more on the game, be sure to check out when Monster Hunter Wilds could hit Game Pass.
