Of course, during the downtime PlayStation gamers were unable to play their games online, and even single-player games that required authentication with a server or a constant internet connection ran into trouble.

Monster Hunter Wilds’ second, hugely popular beta, was one of the affected games, with its weekend session that was meant to run from Thursday, February 6 to Sunday, February 9 cut short.

This means it will start this Thursday, February 13, and end on Monday, February 17, rather than the previously planned Sunday, February 16.

The new ******* is as follows:

• Feb. 13, 7pm PT / Feb. 14, 3am GMT – Feb. 17, 6:59 pm PT / Feb. 18, 2:59 am GMT

During the extended *******, players will still be eligible to receive the participation bonuses available in the full version of the game, Capcom added.
