Is Mistfall Hunter free?

Does Mistfall Hunter have crossplay?

Can I play Mistfall Hunter solo?

Yes. Mistfall Hunter has a full Solo mode with its own difficulty, alongside trio co-op. Some classes like the Seer favor teams, but solo is fully supported. The Beginner Guide covers solo vs trio.

How big are squads in Mistfall Hunter?

Squads cap at three players — you plus up to two companions. You can also run completely solo. Both Solo and Trio have Normal and Chaos difficulty options.

Is Mistfall Hunter on Game Pass?

Yes — it’s coming to Xbox Game Pass in July 2026, lined up with the full launch. If you have Game Pass, that’s an easy way in at release. See Release Date & Platforms.

How do I get into the beta?

Play the open beta June 14–22, 2026. It’s free-to-play on Xbox and PC with open access — no key needed during the window. Full details on Demo & Beta.

Does beta progress carry over?

No — the beta is a data-wipe test, so gear and progress reset. Only cosmetics you earn during the beta carry over to the full game. See Demo & Beta.

What happens when I die?

You lose the loot you’re carrying — it’s an extraction game. If a monster kills you, you may retrieve your soul and respawn within a time limit; player kills are harsher. The Beginner Guide explains it.

What’s the best class to start with?

The Sorcerer is the top starter — strong ranged damage and the current meta pick. Mercenary and Blackarrow are also new-player friendly. Check the Class Tier List for the full ranking.

Is Mistfall Hunter like Tarkov or Dark Souls?

A bit of both. It’s a PvPvE extraction RPG (loot-and-extract tension like Escape From Tarkov) with action combat inspired by Elden Ring (stamina, dodges, enemy tells). It’s set in a Nordic post-Ragnarok world called Weavereach.

Is Mistfall Hunter worth it?

If you like high-stakes extraction loops and Souls-style combat, the free beta is a no-risk way to find out before the July 29 launch. Try it during the June 14–22 window and decide for yourself.
