The price of the cooperative-competitive shooter Hunt: Showdown will be significantly altered, according to developer Crytek. This precedes a number of significant updates that were previously disclosed and will be put into effect when Hunt: Showdown relaunches in August 2024.

Hunt: Showdown is about to enter a new age because of Crytek's intention to transform the game's core technology. The next iteration of Hunt: Showdown will run on the most recent Cry Engine version, 5.11, which offers a number of significant enhancements to loading speeds, visual quality, and other features. As part of the relaunch, the game will even get customised support for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Hunt: Showdown will no longer support the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which is a change, but Crytek informed existing players that their progress will be preserved and will transfer over for free if they decide to upgrade.

A new price tag for the game was also revealed by Crytek in a post on the official Hunt: Showdown website. New players will benefit greatly from the new pricing, with reductions of up to 30% in some areas. On 11th July, 2024, the pricing adjustments were effective for PCs. On 15th August, 2024, they will be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.

Hunt: Showdown's intentional speed, horror aspects, and high skill ceiling make it already one of the more distinctive battle royale games available. Both new players' experiences and seasoned players' enjoyment of the game will be enhanced by the enhancements Crytek has in store for it. The game may soon see a new boom in activity thanks to the addition of new maps, hunts, and progression adjustments.
