Hunt: Showdown 1896 News

Thank you, Hunters!



Celebrating 100,000 Hunters!

Over the weekend, we broke records for the highest number of concurrent players across all platforms in the history of Hunt! Thank you to the new players joining the action for the first time as well as the veterans returning to the battleground.

Server Downtime - 22nd August, 09:00 AM CEST



Hunters,

The servers will be offline on Thursday, August 22nd, from 9am CEST for a backend update lasting around 90 minutes to addressing the following issues:
  • Loadouts: fixing several bugs, most notably an issue where attempting to save stacks of 2 Consumables into a loadout fails to equip them.
  • Game Lobby: fixing an issue where under specific conditions during high load, attempts at connecting to Dedicated Servers sometimes fail.
  • General stability and system resilience improvements.


Thank you for your patience.
