Hunt: Showdownhas banished its closed alpha to hell, and the bounty is an Early Access release. Crytek’s cooperative everything-in-the-environment-will-kill-you-but-all-the-other-players-will-kill-you-also monster shooter is now officially a product that can be purchased.

Just today, Crytek has madeHunt: Showdownavailable to buy on Steam Early Access for $30. As these things go, that means it’s for sale but also unfinished. Anyone who’s fine with that trade-off can follow the game through all remaining steps of development. Really maximizes the amount of hunting and showdowning.
