Hunt: Showdown update 1.7 will soon be on its way to PlayStation 4, but if you happen to be playing the tense title via backwards compatibility on PS5, you can also look forward to a frame rate boost. Previously locked to 30 frames-per-second, this new patch unlocks the frame rate, allowing it to reach up to double what it could previously do. It doesn't appear to be a locked 60 frames-per-second, but this is a lot better than having to be stuck to the constraints of PS4.
Detailed in a Reddit post by a Crytek employee, it's explained how the team is always trying to better Hunt: Showdown for its console audience. "A lot of big features are coming with Update 1.7 such as the reconnect support feature and custom loadouts. So, we felt this was the perfect time to add one more long standing community request to that list."
Looking ahead to 2022, the studio wants to ensure "a consistent and stable 30 FPS" for PS4 players". The 1.7 update is already live on PC now, so expect it to hit PS5 and PS4 systems shortly. Are you a Hunt: Showdown player? Are you looking forward to playing the game at 60 frames-per-second? Let us know in the comments below.

I just got into Hunt last month. A buddy of mine had it so I already had a partner to play with. Added a third shortly after. As for the update... yay? I often have a difficult time seeing a difference in 30fps vs 60fps.
Ooh I've been watching this for a while and have liked what I've seen but hesitant about taking the plunge. This update certainly adds to the temptation.
Any players here who'd offer it a badge of recommendation?
Hell yeah!! I had stopped my daily addiction to this game because I was getting too fed up with the sluggishness on PS5. This will bring me straight back to the bayou.
@Gloamin A massive badge of recommendation. The most tense, stressful yet rewarding game I've played in years. It has been crying out for some console love and this new patch would appear to do just that, especially on PS5
@Gloamin Don't even think twice just do yourself a favour and come join us in the Bayou - Be aware this game is NOT for the faint of heart and the learning curve is fairly steep. This update is some of the best news I've had all year!
FINALLY!
So addicted to this game...
@Gloamin Definitely recommend it if you are in search for a deep and in parts difficult multiplayer game. But you certainly can feel a rewarding progress if you are willing to learn and work a little harder than in some other MP games. Okay more than in most other MP games.
@danton sounds interesting! I'm not too big on most MP experiences but have always appreciated the deeper ones. Would you say this is one where voice chat is necessary?
@Gloamin Me neither, rarely an MP player before (just some Destiny and some couch coop)...
But voice chat is definitely a plus in Hunt, yes. You can manage to coordinate without it but as tactics and positioning are very important here it is good to talk to your companion.
It is also possible to play matches totally alone, though it is much more difficult.
Don't let that keep you from playing! I definitely can understand your points. But this is definitely one of the deeper experiences out there if you invest time and effort.
@danton I know this is a little late, but I finally bought it and I'm having a blast !
