Monster Hunter Outlanders Closed Beta Test November 2025: Dates & How It Works

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ first Monster Hunter Outlanders Closed Beta Test is live from November 27 to December 4, 2025. Some of the players selected from the pool of applicants will get to experience the game first-hand. As for the entry, you had to be registered beforehand via the Level Infinite Pass and a recruitment survey, which was closed on November 7, 2025. So, the invitations were sent shortly after, but not everyone who registered received a confirmation of their entry.

This staggered schedule is used for the announcement of the rollout, which starts around 5:00 PM PT on November 27 and corresponds approximately to:

• UK: Nov 28, 1:00 AM GMT
• Japan: Nov 28, 10:00 AM JST
• Philippines: Nov 28, 9:00 AM local
• Australia (East Coast): Nov 28, 12:00 PM local

This Monster Hunter Outlanders Closed Beta Test November 2025 is not open to everyone worldwide. Access to the test is limited to certain regions of North America, some parts of Asia, and Australia. So, it is a complete wipe at the end. The test is mainly for checking the performance, tracking stability, and tuning the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌gameplay.

Requirements, Storage, & What the Beta Includes

Early reports say Monster Hunter Outlanders needs around 40 GB of free device storage, and developers advise keeping extra space for patches. This makes the beta fit mostly for newer, higher-capacity devices, which limits players using older or lower-capacity phones.
Players in the Monster Hunter Outlanders Closed Beta Test can test many early systems, such as:

• Open-world travel through Aesoland
• Real-time hunts against classic monsters and new Radiant Species
• Crafting, forging, and weapon changes
• Companion systems with Palicoes, Buddies, and other partners
• Early quests, gathering, and progression

Since the game is still in development, visuals, performance, and balance may change before launch.

A Step for Monster Hunter on Mobile

Monster Hunter Outlanders is just one of the ways Capcom is trying to make the full-fledged Monster Hunter-style game available on mobile. If TiMi and Capcom manage to bring the same level of depth, combat, and exploration of the series to mobile, the game could easily make a strong mark in the mobile RPG arena.

However, the limited regional release and high device requirements indicate that the full launch may also prefer the higher-end hardware, thus, the access for some players might be reduced quite a bit.

At the moment, the closed beta is giving a sneak peek to the fans and also serves as a crucial data-gathering stage for the developers. More tests or early access opportunities may arise as the game progresses toward release. Players who want to stay updated should follow official announcements and community channels, especially regarding the Monster Hunter Outlanders Mobile Beta, which will provide further chances to experience the game before its full launch.
