Hunt Showdown 1896 is on PC GamePass!
On one hand, the hunter, on the other hand, the hunted… With its universe full of dark swamps, magical creatures, and fights to the death, Hunt Showdown 1896 has met with Game Pass players. The game, which Crytek has been developing for years, has become available for free on PC Game Pass and Windows Store as of April 14, 2025. The updated version of the game includes not only a name change, but also comprehensive innovations in terms of graphics, maps, and game modes.
Hunt Showdown 1896 is Back in a Brand New Form
Hunt Showdown, signed by Crytek, the creators of classics such as FarCry and Crysis, underwent a comprehensive transformation process last year. The game was renamed “Hunt Showdown 1896” and restructured with the CryEngine 5.12 engine. This technical change created a huge leap in graphic quality and enabled the game to be re-released in an optimized manner for all platforms.
One of the most striking features of the new version is the Colorado map. This new map, added to the game for free after a three-year hiatus, offers players different tactics and atmospheres. In addition, the “Bounty Clash” mode added to the game attracted great attention with its PvP-focused structure. This mode, which emphasizes both individual success and team play, brought a new dynamism to the world of Hunt.
The inclusion of Hunt Showdown 1896 in PC Game Pass is an important part of the goal of bringing the game to a wider audience. Game Pass users can download the game without paying any additional fee and start playing immediately. The production, which is also offered through the Windows Store, increases accessibility for local players thanks to its Turkish language support.
The game, which is currently undergoing the “Garden of the Witch” event, also includes special missions and limited-time content. Offering an unmissable opportunity for both new players and those loyal to the series, Hunt Showdown 1896 is one of the prominent alternatives for those looking for a long-term online experience.
