Monster Hunter World: Iceborne beta now available to pre-load on Xbox One

What you need to know

From its store listing, the beta seems to come in at around 7GB. It will be available from September 2 until September 5. It's an open beta so you don't need to have pre-ordered the expansion.

The beta is free to preload through the Microsoft Store. The expansion itself will cost $40. It seems like a steep price for D;C, but remember that it brings a significant amount of content. Players purchasing Iceborne will not be able to access the DLC until they have completed the game's main campaign and reached Hunter level 16.
