    Really wish there was any word on Cross Invite system. I used to main this game with a buddy almost every night after work. Switched to Xbox and PC from my PS5 and was blown away that there was no Cross Invite. Returned the game and decided I won’t buy or come back until I can play with my buddy again.

      Yeah… A not insignificant number of people are opposed to PC <-> Console cross play because they’re worried about how aim assist will impact the PC side, both from legit players and cheaters. I’m not sure if they’ll ever do cross play because of that.

      They might do Xbox <-> Play Station invites first/if they’re going to do anything… IDK, we’ll see.

        That’s exactly what I’m looking for, though. Cross Play does exist between Consoles, you just can’t invite a Playstation player if you’re on Xbox player and vice versa. I have no problem leaving PC players to their own realm. I just find it odd that Hunt is one of 2 games in my life I’ve played that have cross play but no Cross invite system. Very half baked, and while Hunt is one of my favorite games of all time, I refuse to play it without the basic function of playing with half the people I can play against.

          That’s fair, maybe after the engine update. The new UI does seem more suited towards a crossplay system in general (and prioritizing controller players a bit more).

          Hunt seems to be one of the few games these days that really started as a PC game instead of a console game (normally AAA devs prioritize the console audience).
