We've got another Developer Insight video for you, and this one is all about UI improvements.

After taking critical feedback from the community, we're working hard to streamline and improve the usability of this latest iteration.

Take a look and see for yourself.

Taker of Trophies, our latest DLC, is now available to wishlist!

Skulls are the true mark of a Hunter's worth, greater than any story of slaughtered prey. Armed with Hidden Strike (Krag Sniper) and Liar's Bite (Sparks Pistol), Skull Taker has his fair share of trophies. Should he catch you in his traps... your skull will be next.

Hello, Hunters!

Today, we're pulling back the curtain to discuss more on our development process, giving you a clearer picture of how we prioritize and work on new content, bug fixes, and feedback-driven changes.

As a live-service title, Hunt requires a detailed roadmap that takes into account lead times of 6 to 9 months for most major features and Events. When it comes to planning and rolling out new content, the process isn’t about decision making week-to-week, but rather setting larger course adjustments based on your feedback and our long-term goals for the game.

It’s important to note that every new feature, balance change, or content update has undergone extensive planning and development before it reaches you. This means that when you see large updates or new content, they’ve likely been in motion for months, built from a foundati... Read more

Hello, Hunters,

Performance is an evergreen focus for our development teams, and today we’re sharing some of the latest improvements we’ve been working on to ensure smooth, stable, and consistent gameplay across all platforms. We have tons of changes coming in Update 2.2 later this year, but here is a breakdown of some key updates that can give you a clear view of our ongoing efforts towards optimization.

VRAM Usage Optimization One of the most common issues we tackled on PC was related to VRAM usage. With this fix, VRAM management has been improved. This should improve the overall experience for players, particularly those who spent extended periods in the game and occasionally ran into VRAM overload across multiple rounds which caused a performance decrease. Rarely could a single gameplay session cause this issue as well.

Hey everyone,

Today, we want to give you a deeper look into the bug fixes and exploits we have been tackling and those on deck for future updates. It’s not unusual for live service projects like ours to have an extensive list of bugs that need addressing, and oftentimes, resolving these is not a straightforward process.

One of the realities of game development is that tackling one issue can inadvertently create another. Projects like Hunt rely on a vast number of complex and highly interconnected systems; for example, tweaking a movement mechanic might unintentionally affect animations or server responses. We conduct rigorous testing on all fixes before they roll out, but as many of you know, some issues slip by until they’re live and exposed to thousands of unique play styles.

Going live today with Update 2.1.0.2, we have addressed primar... Read more
