Everything you need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta on PC, how to download the free demo, file size, and more.
Monster Hunter Wilds’ Open Beta test is currently out of early access and is now live on all platforms. As the first major multi-platform Monster Hunter game since 2018’s Monster Hunter World, there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding Monster Hunter Wilds. Thankfully, with the Open Beta now live, fans eager to get their hands on the game won’t have to wait too long to do so. However, given that the Open Beta doesn’t have any registration akin to other similar Beta programs, getting the demo on your PC can be a bit tricky. That is unless you know where to look for the free demo. The Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta test is quite similar to the Resident Evil demos that Capcom puts out.
Much like Resident Evil 4’s Chainsaw demo, Monster Hunter Wilds’ Open Beta test is available directly on Steam. The demo is a separate app that you can download even if you don’t plan to pre-order the base game. However, there are some caveats attached to the demo. Here’s everything you need to know about the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta test, including how to download, system requirements, and more.
