Fossil Hunters!
Big news – Dinosaur Fossil Hunter is now available on Xbox One X/S and Xbox Series X/S! If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the muddy boots of a real-life paleontologist and you are a console player - this is your golden ticket to a thrilling prehistoric journey!
Many of you have asked about this so we are happy to announce that the Xbox version is finally ready! This is our first 100% self-made Xbox game. Porting it from Steam was a very long process and took us over a year! The road to this Xbox port wasn't easy as we had to learn a lot in the process but the final effect is worth it! 🫡
We wish you all a wonderful rest of August! 🦖

Dear Paleontologists!
Almost a year has passed since we released the last major update (v2.2), but we always wanted to do more. Since then, we've poured our efforts into enhancing performance, introducing a broader array of prehistoric creatures, delving into new gameplay mechanics, and even expanding our horizons to console platforms. Today, we are thrilled to finally unveil what awaits you in the upcoming Anniversary Update!
What's coming?
More Dinosaurs!
We are adding two new species to the game, including the highly requested Pteranodon fossil!
Unearth Dinosaur Eggs!
A brand-new and unique mechanic awaits, allowing you to hunt for and excavate fossilized dinosaur eggs, ensuring that every location is well worth revisiting.
Unique decorations!
Unlock the ability to discover unique plant specimens within your dig sites. Capture them with your drone's lens, and they'll find a new home as additional captivating decorations within your museum.
Let there be light!
We've undertaken a comprehensive overhaul of our game's lighting and weather systems. Additionally, we've introduced awe-inspiring 3D volumetric clouds to elevate your gaming experience.
Performance Revolution
Our dedication to improvement extends to memory management and overall performance optimization. Expect smoother gameplay with higher frame rates and fewer disruptions.
All this, and more, is set to arrive later this year!
To mark this exciting announcement, we're offering a special 45% discount on Dinosaur Fossil Hunter for the next 10 days! If you haven't yet embarked on your fossil-hunting journey, now is the perfect time to join us in preparation for the forthcoming update!
