In a new roadmap video, Crytek has revealed that Hunt: Showdown PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will be released in April 2024.
TNS: "The Murder Circus event is bringing sinister clowns to the swamps. Here's what's wrong with Post Malone's Hunt: Showdown collab."
Despite its server issues, UI problems, and high-rank toxicity, when you look at what it gets right, Hunt: Showdown is a masterpiece.
Never understood the praise for this game. While I'm sure it feels better with mouse and keyboard, on console the controls are clunky and unsatisfying, the gameplay loop is repetitive, and you spend an inordinate amount of time in menus and loading screens. There are also like 3-4 in game currency systems, and the game is loaded with microtransactions (which of course Crytek gets a pass on because they aren't EA or Ubisoft).
The Hunt: Showdown upgrade to CryEngine 5.11 drops this Aug. 15! Players can expect "a mountain of new content" throughout summer of 2024.
PS4/Xbox One versions will get dropped because of the engine upgrade:

Oh cool.
Can't wait. I love watching the game but I never play it. This overhaul is what it needs on consoles. Hopefully the overall jankyness of the console version will be fixed with this update.
Finally!
One of my favourite games but looks like absolute dogwater on console.
What a time to be alive.
