Developer Expansive Worlds continues its robust post-launch support for their outdoor hunting sim theHunter: Call of the Wild, announcing today that a vast new alpine mountain reserve is available now on consoles and PC, as well as support for 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The new reserve is inspired by real-life locations in the New England mountains and covers portions of New Hampshire and Maine. The update also includes new wildlife like pheasants, coyotes, and moose, as well as a new weapon called “The Patriot”.
In addition to boosting current-gen versions to 60 FPS, the Granite Update also includes increased wildlife spawns and other quality of life improvements, such as the ability to place waypoints when using binoculars and an updated Harvest screen.
The Granite Update is absolutely free, while the new alpine reserve will run you $7.99. I am a big fan of simulators, and theHunter has always been regarded as one of the better ones out there for the hunting sub-genre. But now I can play in 60 frames on my PS5? I may or may not be navigating to the PlayStation Store to see if there is a sale.
