Monster Hunter World Beta Returns December 22, No PS Plus Required

Capcom is bringing back the Monster Hunter World beta for another go, this time without the PlayStation Plus subscription as the gatekeeper. The new beta runs from December 22 through December 26. The previous beta required PlayStation Plus to access the game at all, single player or multiplayer, but the upcoming one lets players without a subscription access the single player missions. Multiplayer, like all PlayStation 4 games, still requires PS Plus. The beta is once again exclusive to PlayStation 4. Both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 editions of the game launch on January 26, while the PC version has an indefinite date sometime in 2018.
