Dauntless is getting a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S upgrade this week. The free-to-play Monster Hunter clone will receive a robust visual overhaul that not only increases the resolution to 4K but also adds a whole new lighting system, 60FPS and enhanced textures. The upgrade is set to arrive on 2 December.

Developer Pheonix Labs says that players on PS4 and Xbox One can automatically download the new enhanced version of Dauntless and transfer their progress across to the game. This is all done through a server so you won’t need to manually upload your saves to do so. The new Dauntless upgrade also comes with cross-platform support across PS4, PS5, Switch,  PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
