Hunt: Showdown

Um, so and it also kind of builds.

So like the, the perk trees, um, the, the perks and the attributes of your soldier kind of build like Hunt Showdown.

Um, so the more times you survive, the more perk points, and you get to upgrade your character, and your bounty gets higher too.

And then when you die, you lose your bounty, um, and your tag gets extracted by someone else.

Games like Escape From Tarkov, they have a PVE mode.

Hunt Showdown players have begged for one.

Marathon's adding PVE in the coming year, uh, and months.

And Embark is actually s- thinking about, they're, they're entertaining the notion that this could be something that is in the game full time.

These are the actual games.

You have F1 '25 for the PS5, Hunt: Showdown 1896, so that's close, that's close, for the PS5, and we have Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 for the PS5, PS4.

So this is your last chance.

You have until October 5th to redeem last month's games, which are MLB The Show 26, Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Wobbly Life.

So Davey, I'll come to you.

Okay.

Um, so only thing I've got to say about this before I get into my rating of it, is that I've got a colleague in work who's been asking me to play Hunt: Showdown for two and a half years, and I've always just looked to buy it and then been like, "I'm not paying that for Hunt: Showdown." So that's quite nice to have that, so at least I can take him up on his offer.

He's got, like, hundreds and hundreds of hours in Hunt: Showdown.

Seems like it's all right.

Uh, this one's probably the, the spookiest of the games here for PS5, Hunt: Showdown in 1896.

This is, uh, uh, probably one of the most unique extraction shooters in that it's set in sort of a, a sort of a, you know, late 19th century, uh, version of, like, the, I don't know if you would maybe say this, like, the, the South, like a swampy South, uh, kind of area full of Uh, scary monsters and such around the map as you're trying to complete bounties and such, um, and try to get out, uh, safely.

Um-

Mm-hmm.

Uh, the Call of Duty one's available now.

Hunt: Showdown 1896 is available on the 6th.

It'll give you some extra cosmetic stuff in Overwatch 2's, uh, Drager Reinhardt plus five tier skips pack.

I'm like, "Ah, I think I have time to play this now." So yeah, F1 '25, uh, is, uh, available now on the PS Plus.

Then we have, which I feel like is the highlight, uh, highlight game of this month from the PS Plus, it's Hunt: Showdown 1896.

This is a new era of kind of like a, a very a- addictively unforgiving extraction shooter.

Um, and this is from the same developers who made Crysis, so you know it's good.

I'm, I'm glad that it still gets much support from its developers.

And if you're down for...

Maybe if y- you want a little bit of a, little different take on an extraction shooter, then you can check out Hunt: Showdown 1896.

It's available now on the PS Plus for free.

And then let's wrap it up real, real quick.

Uh, PS Plus for October is F1 '25, Hunt: Showdown, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2.

What a weird set of things.

[laughs]

So I guess Hunt: Showdown is a little bit spooky, but-

It's got some spook, and so does Earth Defense Force, technically.

Well, but that's World Brothers, so it's the pixel-
