Monster Hunter Outlanders Closed Beta Registration Announced
If you've ever shouted at your phone, “Why can't Monster Hunter just work on this thing?” well, here's your moment. Capcom has pulled the wraps off their big mobile gamble, Monster Hunter Outlanders, and yes, the closed beta registration is live as of September 24th, 2025. Honestly? It kind of snuck up on me faster than a Great Jagras in tall grass.
What’s All the Buzz About Monster Hunter Outlanders?
Monster Hunter Outlanders brings the classic, much-loved hunting action to mobile screens with enough style to tempt even veteran console hunters. Think easy swipes and big monsters now with brand new “Adventurers” as playable characters, and a few fresh faces alongside timeless Palico companions. I watched the Tokyo Game Show reveal with a buddy (he yelled every time someone got “carted”), and those graphics did not look like phone fodder. There's crafting, open-world exploring, and a whole lot of people hoping their phones don't overheat.
You know, the last time Monster Hunter tried mobile, my friend was still using a Samsung Galaxy S6. This time, you'd better have something newer.
Here’s the deal: registration is open from September 24, 2025, until November 7, 2025 (UTC-7). The beta itself starts after mid-November, so there’s still time to clear space and update your OS.
Requirements:
-
iOS users need at least an iPhone 12 running iOS 17+
-
Android folks are supposed to pack 8GB RAM and at least a Snapdragon 888 CPU, with Android 12 or later
-
You must be 18 or older (Sorry, junior hunters maybe next test!)
-
Available regions will be announced soon, so stay tuned
I had to double-check my phone before signing up (honestly, that “8GB RAM” bit made me sweat). If you get picked, Capcom will shoot you an email (add [email protected] to your contacts so it doesn’t land in some dusty spam folder).
How Do You Register?
-
Go to the Monster Hunter Outlanders official recruitment site (there’s a shiny “Apply” button that’s hard to miss).
-
Log in or create a LEVEL INFINITE PASS account (it took me less than a minute and didn’t ask for childhood pet names).
-
Fill out a survey about your device answer honestly, because they check.
-
Wait, and hope. If you cut, you’ll get instructions in your inbox; if not, there are more tests coming, so don’t take it personally.
Weird personal aside: I always screw up entering my email on registration forms I once missed out on a beta because of a typo in “gmail.” This time, I triple-checked.
What Happens Once You’re In?
If you’re lucky enough to land an invite, you’ll get access after mid-November. Brace yourself for bug testing, unbalanced monsters, and random server hiccups (it’s a beta part of the fun, right?). Capcom says all test data will be wiped at the end, so don’t get too attached to your loot. There won’t be any in-game purchases, but rewards and event goodies will be handed out during the test.
Still waiting for official confirmation if your region is included? Capcom has promised updates, so keep an eye out.
