Predator Hunting Grounds Update: 2.08 Patch Notes Revealed For Free PS4 And PC October DLC Release


Predator Hunting Grounds has released a new update on PS4 and PC with plenty of new content and usual a bevy of fixes for the game.

The asymmetric online multiplayer from IllFonic has now been updated to version 2.08 and players should notice a new download for the game when they next head online.

Unlike past patches, this one is a bit bigger than usual, at 1.5 GB in size on the PS4. But that's partly down to the new paid dlc content that's been released and the wealth of new unlockable cosmetics that have been added also.

You'll find a full rundown of the latest changes just below, but there's also an updated roadmap from the developers which is worth a gander too.

It looks like the game has at least one more update dropping in 2020, and we wouldn't be surprised if it brings some next-gen enhancements to the game on PS5.
