Way of the Hunter 2 Release Date Console — PS5 and Xbox Launch

Way of the Hunter 2 came to consoles on September 29, 2026, launching simultaneously on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S alongside the PC version. Consoles skipped Early Access entirely, since that phase was PC only. The standard edition is $39.99 and the Deluxe Edition is $59.99 with the Season One Season Pass.
