Hunting Grounds Coming To PS5 And Xbox Series
Predator: Hunting Grounds, a reimagining of the asymmetric multiplayer system used by IllFonic in games like Friday the 13th: The Game and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, was launched back in 2020. The game was strangely published by Sony exclusively for the PC and PS4 system.
The game kind of came and went without much fanfare, even with the big-name publisher, but it looks like IllFonic is getting ready to bring it back to life on current-generation platforms.
Predator: Hunting Grounds will now be released by IllFonic, who also stated that the game will be officially released for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. In April, IllFonic will release an update that will concentrate on balance changes and other updates, paving the way for the arrival of the current-generation console ports later in 2024.

In 2025, additional content will be introduced to the game. Look at the timeline below:
- In April 2024, Patch 2.49 will be available for Predator: Hunting Grounds on PS4 and PC (Steam/Epic). This update will improve player movement, rework and balance Fireteam weapons, balance Predator weapons, and enhance the overall user experience and playability. Stay tuned for more details in the patch notes from the development team.
- By late 2024, Predator: Hunting Grounds will be released on Xbox Series X|S and PS5. This release will focus on next-gen capabilities, running on the Unreal 4.27 engine, with features like Vivox and Wwise. Players can choose between a Standard Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition.
- In Winter 2024, expect to see new Predators added to the game.
- And in Spring 2025, even more new Predators will be introduced.
Predator: Hunting Grounds was met with average reviews upon release, including one from Wccftech. However, it seems that the game has managed to maintain some level of interest, so perhaps the next patch will address the issues that were not taken care of before.
This is the official description of the game: “Predator: Hunting Grounds is an immersive asymmetrical shooter set in remote areas worldwide. Play as an elite special forces team member – the Fireteam – and complete operations before the Predator finds you.”
“Then again, what better way to bond with your fellow Fireteam than to try to turn the tables on the Yautja… Hunt the Hunter! Or play as the Predator to hunt the most worthy prey, choosing from your vast array of deadly alien tech to collect your trophies one by one. The Predator’s mission is clear: The Hunt. Study the warriors in the jungle and choose the best of the best to engage. Dispatch your targets and collect trophies to display as tokens of each hunt. Do not let your prey escape. Failure is not an option.”
