Hunt: Showdown has banished its PS4 version to the dustbin of history, launching the Unreal Engine 5-enhanced PS5 iteration called Hunt: Showdown 1896. In addition, it brings the new Mammon's Gulch map for players to get lost in, boasting some 16 unique compounds scattered across its vast alpine biome.
In addition to boosted visuals, players can look forward to a smattering of quality-of-life and UX/UI improvements. PS4 players can rest easy knowing that all previously purchased DLC will find their way to Hunt: Showdown 1896 on PS5, able to safely enjoy Crytek's vaunted technical upgrades.
If you didn't know, Hunt: Showdown is a multiplayer first-person shooter that offers two game modes, Bounty Hunt and Soul Survivor. Bounty Hunt tasks teams of players with working together to uncover the location of specific bosses and will need to extract from randomly determined points on the map once the kill has been confirmed.
Soul Survivor, meanwhile, is a faster-paced spin on battle royale. Players compete against each other, and the victor can take their survivor, with all collected traits and equipment, into Bounty Hunt.
