As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt and a soft spot for cooperative multiplayer games like Hunt Showdown 1896, I must say that I’ve been through quite a rollercoaster ride these past few weeks. The UI fiasco was truly a test of patience, but the game developers have managed to address the concerns and bring back some much-needed positivity with their latest updates and events.

Over the past month, there were some troubles with Hunt Showdown. The most significant issue was undeniably a new user interface, which fell far short of expectations. This new layout turned out to be so flawed that players began mass-reviewing the game negatively. Fortunately, things seem to have improved. The UI has been fixed and a fresh circus event, designed in partnership with Post Malone, has helped to quell the anger. If you’re returning to Hunt or just picked it up during the Steam Winter Sale, you might want to find some friends to join you in gameplay. However, do keep in mind that crossplay is not a feature of this game.

Crossplay in Hunt Showdown 1896 (PC, Xbox, PS5) Explained

1896’s Hunt Showdown is primarily designed as a team game, although you can certainly enjoy it solo if needed. However, playing with friends significantly amplifies the fun factor. The challenge arises when your friends own different versions of the game. But fear not! If you all have console copies, rest easy knowing that these games support crossplay between Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

If you own the PC version of Hunt: Showdown 1896 and your friends play on consoles, you won’t be able to create a team together because this game does not support crossplay. This is understandable considering the significant difference in precision when controlling movement between a mouse and a gamepad.

Additionally, it’s important to note that if you choose to purchase an additional copy of Hunt Showdown for a console, you should be aware that cross-progression isn’t supported. This means you’ll have to start fresh. If you value your skins and event progress, this isn’t an ideal situation, but it’s the current state of affairs.
