Post Malone sits down for an exclusive Q&A in latest video

Frankfurt, DE – 20th November, 2024: Today, Crytek are thrilled to showcase an exclusive Q&A session featuring Diamond Certified artist and passionate gamer Post Malone. In the video, Post Malone sits down with Game Director Scott Lussier to discuss intense gameplay experiences, new traits and more as he teases his upcoming collaboration with the critically acclaimed game ‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’.

Known for his chart-topping music and growing reputation in the gaming community, Post Malone shares his genuine passion for ‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’, revealing how a casual recommendation from a close friend transformed into a serious gaming obsession.

“My buddy got me into it,” Post Malone said. “Whenever I’m on the road, and I can’t play, I’m always missing it. I’ve got probably about 400 hours on it.” 

When discussing what it is about Hunt that attracted him to the game, Post continued: “I love how it’s based and grounded in reality. Very quick time to kill, you can body somebody in one shot. The guns are so sick. The skins are so sick. And I was like alright, I’m gonna give this a go. And then I used necro for the first time and I was like – this is the best game!”

In a truly original, first-of-its-kind partnership, Post Malone teases how players can join him for an all-new Hunt experience coming soon.

During the Q&A session, fans can take an intimate look into Post Malone’s gameplay style. The artist discusses his approach to the game’s high-stakes extraction shooter combat, shares personal strategies and memorable moments from his time in the Louisiana bayou and in the new Colorado map, Mammon’s Gulch. 

Fans can get a first taste of what to expect with an excerpt from the Dime Store Novels (below), featuring in-game lore teasing details about what’s to come.

See ‘Notes’ for transcript, below*

Stay tuned for more information in the coming days on the explosive collaboration between ‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’ and its most avid player Post Malone! 

About Hunt: Showdown 1896

‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’ is the new era of the competitive first-person bounty hunting game, packing the thrill of survival and the reward of profit into a horror match-based format. Set in Colorado in 1896, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that create a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the monsters who are a threat—it’s every Hunter on the map. In the classic Bounty Hunt game mode, a match pits 12 players—playing solo or in teams of two or three—against each other as they race to take out gruesome creatures for a Bounty they must collect and extract from the map. Hunt’s Soul Survivor mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of Bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost you everything. ‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’ is out now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Series X|S.

*The Ballad of Post Malone

They say he came out of the Georgia hills, way up north near the Tennessee state line. Walked out of them woods with a guitar on his back and a dream, back in those wilder days. He’d wander from town to town, singing songs with power in them, songs that called to the lonely and the desperate and the strange. Every town he went through, one or two or five of these misfits would just pick up and follow him when he left. He never asked, and he never offered. They just came, and put their faith in him. Pretty soon what had been one man with song on his lips turned into a traveling carnival, a circus where folks slotted themselves into roles they discovered they had all been born to play. They got big enough so that real circus acts heard tell of them and joined up too. Made things respectable, at least on the outside. The circus followed the roads, going wherever he wanted. It got a bit of a rep, too. A little dirty, a little dangerous, and while he’d always come out to sing and make the ladies swoon, in the back alleys behind the tents there’d be darker stuff going on.

KYIV, UKRAINE — November 20, 2024: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is now available on PC and Xbox Series X/S, marking the end of a long and challenging development cycle that included the pandemic, relocations, cyberattacks, a fire in the Prague office, and, above all, the ongoing war in Ukraine, which continues to devastate the developers’ Homeland.

The game is available for purchase on PC (Steam , Epic Games Store, GOG), Xbox Series X/S & Microsoft Store

Also, the game is available for Game Pass subscribers day one.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. takes place in a fictional Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Power Plant in 1986 wasn’t the only one to occur, as the second explosion hit the reactor in 2006, creating the Zone. It’s a dangerous place, filled with mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy.

Bounty hunters delve deep into the Zone, driven by its treasures and mysteries. Some of them are running from their past, others are blinded by money, and some are obsessed with finding the truth behind all the mysteries.

Check out gameplay for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl below

You will take the role of Skif – a lone stalker, who enters the Zone after a series of unforeseen events. On the way to the Heart of Chornobyl, you will gradually uncover the secrets of this world, explore the balance of power between factions, fight, and survive. In this non-linear story, every choice you make will impact the outcome of this global and epic tale, featuring three hours of scripted cutscenes. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, photogrammetry technology, and the developers’ regular visits to the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, the authenticity and atmosphere that have always been the hallmark of the series are better than ever.

“It feels utterly surreal to say that, but after more than 7 years in the making, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is now released. That’s totally wild. So was the whole development story.


What started as the most ambitious game by GSC eventually turned out to be an ultimate personal challenge. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was always supposed to be a truly Ukrainian product, showing our culture to the world in the ongoing effort of the nation to be recognized. I truly believe the team we have consists of exceptional people, but I never actually thought they would be finishing the game under the circumstances like these.

Despite all the odds, it’s there. Our biggest game, our own story, our love letter to Ukraine. All the time, effort and passion we put into this is about to be witnessed by the players from all around the globe. After 15 years, the doors to the Zone will be opened once again”, – says Ievgen Grygorovych, CEO and Game Director.

The game was finished amidst Russian full-fledged aggression towards Ukraine. War Game: The Making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a full-length documentary about this game development. It was created in collaboration with Xbox, and it gives a deep insight of what the team went through. We would highly recommend watching it before playing the game, since it gives the important context.

The war in Ukraine continues. GSC Game World has been supporting our home country in all the ways we can. For those willing to do the same, we recommend following a link to the official charity fund of Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine himself: https://u24.gov.ua/
