The Predator: Hunting Grounds 2.01 update patch notes are likely the most important ones the game has seen since its launch in April. This fated update finally adds crossplay invites to both the PS4 and PC users on the Epic Store. Crossplay was always a thing for this game but friends could not party up across systems. While that may be the biggest part of the update for some, the new weapons, gear, and cosmetics may be the most important part for others. Also keep in mind that this is not the update with the free map and mode. That is in next month’s update.
Predator: Hunting Grounds 2.01 Update Patch Notes | Crossplay invites
Yes, finally. Crossplay parties are now a thing in Predator: Hunting Grounds. You can now invite your friends on PC or PS4 to play with you. This feature was originally promised to be in the game at launch, but did not come until around four months later. You might have to link your Epic Store and PSN accounts. You can read more about how to do that here.

This update also comes with some new weapons and cosmetics. The Classic Combistick and Wrist Launcher from July’s premium City Hunter Predator is finally available for everyone to use. However, it’s not clear what level players need to be to get it. Fireteam members can also now use a new OWLF assault rifle, an anti-cloaking grenade, a UAV scanner, and a self-revive syrette. It’s also not clear if these are locked behind levels as well. However, they’re all free.
The Field Lockers, this game’s microtransaction-free loot boxes, have also gotten a few new free items. Illfonic has added three new Predator masks, a Fireteam ballistic mask, and new tints and shaders to the item pool. Players will likely be able to buy these with Veritanium as well if they don’t want to leave it up to chance.
