We’re still more than 2 months away from the official launch day of Monster Hunter: World Iceborne, but some lucky folks are able to try out the new area, fight new monsters, and practice some new techniques thanks to a rather exclusive Beta period.

How to Get The Iceborne Beta

Unfortunately for all of those Xbox and PC fans that have beel playing Monster Hunter: World for a year and a half, the Iceborne expansion beta is exclusive to the PlayStation platform. More so, one of the two scheduled betas (the one that runs this weekend) is exclusive to PS Plus members.
