Hunt: Showdown
Hunt: Showdown is Crytek's extraction shooter set in a darkly atmospheric Louisiana bayou where players hunt monsters while competing against other hunters.
What is Hunt: Showdown?
Is Hunt: Showdown down? Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game developed by Crytek, released in Early Access in 2019 and fully launched in 2020. Set in a dark, monster-infested Louisiana bayou at the turn of the twentieth century, Hunt blends PvE monster hunting with PvP extraction: teams of hunters track and kill powerful boss monsters to claim bounties, then must extract from the map while other hunter teams attempt to steal the bounty tokens. Death is permanent for the match — fallen hunters lose their equipment — creating a tension level that few shooters replicate.
Hunt: Showdown's 1896 setting, distinctive gunplay centred on period-accurate firearms, and its unique PvEvP loop have built one of the most dedicated communities in the tactical shooter space despite its demanding gameplay. Crytek regularly releases major content updates introducing new boss monsters, hunters, weapons, and map variants. The game rebranded and received a major engine upgrade as Hunt: Showdown 1896 in 2024, bringing significant graphical improvements and expanded content.
Hunt: Showdown server issues manifest as matchmaking failures, players unable to form posses (teams), disconnects mid-match that result in character death and gear loss, or the game client failing to connect to Crytek's authentication servers. Because every disconnect potentially costs a hunter and their loadout, server reliability is especially important to the Hunt community.
