PS4 owners can download and play an upcoming blockbuster for free, but only for a limited time.
The final Monster Hunter World Iceborne beta kicked off at 11am UK time on June 28.
Unfortunately, however, the free Monster Hunter World Iceborne beta ends at 11am BST on July 1, so you don’t have long left to play it.
On the plus side, the latest Iceborne beta doesn’t require a PS Plus membership to access, so anybody with a PS4 can take part.
You can download the Monster Hunter World Iceborne from the PlayStation Store now.
It’s not so great if you’re an Xbox One owner, because the Monster Hunter World Iceborne beta isn’t coming to the Microsoft console.
Hopefully Xbox One users will get a chance to play nearer the expansion’s release date.
Capcom explains more: “Unleash your hunting spirit! Iceborne picks up after the ending of Monster Hunter: World.
“This massive expansion introduces the new master rank, as well as new features that will take your hunting farther than ever before—new quests, monsters, weapons, armor, story elements, action mechanics, and more!”
The demo will give fans a look at the new Hoarfrost Reach location, as well as a new monster and new gameplay options.
“The beta offers players three quest choices, including the beginner-friendly Great Jagras hunt from Monster Hunter: World for newcomers, the brand new horned brute wyvern Banbaro for an intermediate challenge or returning series favourite Tigrex for the fiercest of hunters.
“The beta will let players test out all 14 weapon types in any of the three quests and the training area.
“The weapons include new features plus there are new Slinger tool options such as the Clutch Claw grapple mechanic.”
Iceborne rewards are also up for grabs for anybody who completes each mission.
“Upon completing each quest for the first time, hunters can earn a total of three item packs containing helpful consumable items that will be available to use in the full version of the Iceborne expansion when it releases,” Capcom continues.
“With more monsters and game info to be revealed, this is just the tip of the Iceborne!”
The full Monster Hunter Iceborne expansion has a September 6 release date on PS4 and Xbox One. A PC version will follow later in the winter.
