History of Hunt
Over the last 7 years, Hunt has constantly evolved, from our first Halloween Event in 2020 to Light the Shadow where the community worked together to unlock Scrapbeak. Later, we continued to grow and build as Tide of Shadows set a new record for the game with the release of Rotjaw, and then again in 2024 with a new CCU peak as we released Hunt: Showdown 1896.
There has been a total of 19 Events throughout our 7 years, with each Event bringing new Hunters, weapons, and new ways to play! Thank you sincerely for going on this journey with us.
Hunt is available on Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and PlayStation 5. If you are not yet familiar with Hunt: Showdown 1896 and would like a base game key, please reach out to press@crytek.com

About Hunt: Showdown 1896
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is the new era of the competitive first-person bounty hunting game, packing the thrill of survival and the reward of profit into a horror match-based format. Set in Colorado in 1896, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that create a uniquely tense experience. It's not just the monsters who are a threat—it's every Hunter on the map. In the classic Bounty Hunt game mode, a match pits 12 players—playing solo or in teams of two or three—against each other as they race to take out gruesome creatures for a Bounty they must collect and extract from the map. Hunt's Soul Survivor mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of Bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost you everything. Hunt: Showdown 1896 is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Series X|S.
