Crytek confirms that the crossover game between PS4 and Xbox One is now available on Hunt: Showdown. In addition, Xbox has received new features in sound.
Hunt: Showdown receives crossplay features among PS4 and Xbox One users. In a short tweet, Crytek has confirmed the immediate availability of one of the most popular features in the community.
Cross play was expected from the landing of the game on PS4. After its early access period on PC and Xbox One, the Sony platform received it in its full version. This version 1.2 started a period of reception of content and functionalities that has been extended until today.

Therefore, from this moment on, when searching for a game in its two game modes, players from both platforms will mix. It is unknown if the PC edition will benefit at some point from the crossover game, but at the moment it remains only on console.
In the same week we learned that the Xbox One version would benefit from CrySpatial's binaural sound. As stated on the official website, this feature "simulates realistic listening, the shape of the ear and the frequency changes based on the angle at which the sound reaches your ears." The study sets an example when you are in an elevated position. "You will be able to orient yourself by the sound source with much more precision than before." Of course, some adaptation is required.
Although playing with headphones is recommended, CrySpatial is also available for 7.1 speakers. Since the beginning of development, special emphasis has been placed on sound. Being able to locate a player just by hearing the rattle of a map hook is one of its hallmarks. Treatment in this regard can be found in very few multiplayer. Remember that Hunt: Showdown is available in physical and digital format on PS4 and Xbox One. You will only find the PC version on Steam.
