Unable to Connect Error, Explained

The unable to connect error is one players will find when they try to boot up this game and play it. The full release will not require an internet connection at all times to play the game, unless, of course, you want to play multiplayer, but the beta does require internet. This is because it is a closed beta for only a short period of time.

As such, you have to be able to connect to the online servers during the beta or you can’t play at all. This even includes if you have no desire to join a lobby and play with others. The unable to connect error happens when the player is unable to connect to the servers, either due to their own issues or a server problem.

How to Fix the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Unable to Connect Issue

It is a tricky situation when it comes to fixing the Monster Hunter Wilds beta unable to connect error. The first thing you should do is attempt to know if it is a problem on your end or not. I recommend restarting the game and then trying out other online games on the same platform you’re on (PS5, Xbox, PC, etc).

If you are able to play other games online, then it is likely an issue with the online servers. In this case, it is possible the beta isn’t currently available anymore or the servers are down for emergency maintenance of some kind. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything you can do if this is the issue. That said, you can reach out to Capcom Support and, hopefully, make the company aware of any possible online issues.

Monster Hunter Wilds releases for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on February 28, 2025. The open beta will run until November 3, 2024.
