Over six million players have taken part in Dauntless since launch on May 21st. During their game time, players have completed 20M hunts, logged over 15M hours played and over 60% of the hunting parties consisted of cross-platform groups banding together. 13M Behemoths have been taken down and Ramsgate’s two doggos were “petted an incalculable number of times”.
Dauntless is raking in some big numbers thanks to its launch on May 21st for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The first day, Dauntless saw over a half-million new Slayers head into the game before cruising over the 4M player mark worldwide. Players have been hard at it as well with over two million hours spent in game and by completing over three million hunts.
Today’s a huge day for Dauntless players as it has officially launched into retail release complete with “true cross-play” between PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store. Players will be able to “take their Dauntless account with them wherever they go” regardless of platform. The launch proves Phoenix Labs’ commitment to cross-platform, cross-progression systems that allow players the freedom to play wherever they wish.
Dauntless is leaving open beta testing and finally has a release date for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as the PC release via the Epic Games Store. All versions of Dauntless will be available beginning May 21st.

The Dauntless site has been updated with a new interactive roadmap to provide the community with a peek into the game’s future. The map is divided into four sections: Improved Interface, Deeper Combat, Expanding Universe and More Activities.

Dauntless has been updated to bring a host of new content into the game as well as a number of bug fixes, technical improvements and feature enhancements to the game. The Dreadfrost Boreus has the ability to control flying minions that keep it from being damaged. This will require new tactics from hunters looking to take it out in order to score the new Boreus Gear that can be crafted in Ramsgate.
