Hey Hunters,
We’re excited to announce a feature many of you have been asking for: more players in each match! Starting February 4, we’ll test matches with up to 15 players. This change aims to amp up the combat and excitement you love in Hunt.
Throughout this testing phase, you might see matches with anywhere from 12 to 15 players. We’ll experiment with different match sizes to gather useful data on how this affects game balance, win rates, and the overall experience. Don’t worry; you can always check how many players were in your match on the team details screen.
This increase in player count will apply to Bounty Hunt and Soul Survivor, but Bounty Clash will remain the same during this test.
The testing will wrap up on February 11. Your feedback is crucial! We’ll monitor both gameplay data and your thoughts closely. After the test, we’ll send out a survey to see how you felt about these changes and whether they should stick around or be adjusted further.
We can’t wait for you to dive into this new experience!

As a fun fact, did you know that many competitive games have successfully tweaked player counts to enhance gameplay? For instance, Fortnite saw a spike in user engagement when it increased match sizes during events. This approach not only creates more dynamic interactions but also helps refine game mechanics based on real player experience.
Let’s make these matches thrilling together! If you’re curious about how player count can influence game dynamics, check out this insightful article on game design.
