The long-awaited Hunt: Showdown 2.4 update has officially gone live after a turbulent launch period.

Early reports indicate the servers are running smoothly this time around.
Crytek addressed the community in a detailed Steam post, acknowledging the challenges they faced. “After rigorous testing and adjustments, we’re confident this version delivers the experience players deserve,” the statement read. The team emphasized ongoing monitoring to ensure server performance remains optimal.
Players who previously downloaded the 26GB patch, only to have it reverted, must now download the update again. While this may frustrate those with limited bandwidth, the developer assures this final version resolves all known issues.
Among the fixes are long-awaited Twitch Drop rewards, though some users might need to restart the game multiple times for them to appear. Crytek extended an apology for the disruptions, thanking the community for their patience during the troubleshooting process.
The rocky rollout initially sparked a wave of negative Steam reviews, temporarily dropping the game’s recent rating to “mixed.” However, positive feedback has begun resurfacing as players experience the stable update. Discussions on platforms like Reddit even show calls for users to reconsider their earlier negative reviews.
With the technical hurdles cleared, Hunt: Showdown appears back on track, much to the relief of its dedicated player base.
