Claim the free DLC in the in-game shop or via Steam Store.
Enjoy dynamic rides throughout the vast environments when you saddle the UTV without additional gameplay requirements. You can reach places behind the wheel; otherwise hard to access with a jeep. You can quickly get to hunting stands on time to watch or hunt your desired animal. You can enjoy beautiful vistas on top of the mountain and still get back to the lodge in a timely manner.
Riding UTV in the Way of the Hunter is fun and useful at the same time. This new vehicle can change how you plan your hunting adventures or explore the environment.
Drive safe!

End of the year recap
Way of the Hunter has been out for almost four months and with 2023 here before you know it, we thought it was a good opportunity to recap.
We feel very fortunate to be home for such a passionate and positive community of hunters and we want to thank you for supporting us. Your feedback continues to play a big part in our vision for the game and we really do appreciate your voices. There is a lot more Way of the Hunter ahead and we cannot wait to tell (and show) you more in the near future. But enough talk, let's have a look at the recap, and do remind us if we missed any of your dream features!
Good hunting!
