Hunt: Showdown 1896 Announces Upcoming 2.2.0.1 Update

The Post Malone's Murder Circus event and the highly anticipated 2.2 update have officially arrived in Hunt: Showdown 1896. While both launched smoothly, a few lingering bugs and issues remain. Many expected Crytek to take some time before addressing these problems, but the developers have already announced that a follow-up update is on the way to tackle these post-2.2 concerns.

Crytek Announces Upcoming 2.2.0.1 Update For Hunt: Showdown 1896

As detailed in a recent post on the official Hunt: Showdown 1896 X page, the developers announced that a new update (2.2.0.1) will arrive soon to "address several issues identified in version 2.2." This announcement is a pleasant surprise, as Crytek is typically known for taking their time to release updates. Seeing a follow-up patch roll out so quickly after a major update and event is refreshing news.

According to the post, "Player feedback and data analytics are being evaluated to inform balance adjustments," the developers added, "We will share more news on the upcoming changes later this week." This suggests we can expect more details on the update in the coming days.

Overall, this is a positive step forward for Crytek. Many players have expressed concerns regarding the event and the 2.2 Update since their launch. The replies to the post reflect this sentiment, with players sharing suggestions for fixes, changes, or—as is typical on X—some playful dev trash talk. However, mixed in with the critiques is genuine praise for the developers' efforts so far.

That said, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is ramping up as we move toward 2025. Yes, there are still lingering issues, and both players and developers seem fully aware of that. However, the recent update and event accomplished quite a lot, and this upcoming patch shows Crytek's continued commitment to refining the game.

We’re excited to see how this next update addresses the current issues and brings us one step closer to the ideal version of Hunt: Showdown 1896 - a vision shared by both the developers and the players.
