The chief element is to either avoid being hunted by the Predator or capture and kill the Predator who in turn will be controlled by the player.[1]

Predator: Hunting Grounds received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[4][5]

Tomas Franzese of Inverse reviewed the beta calling it the "worst Sony game of this generation", that the "game feels like a mess", visually outdated and unpolished.[11] Jonathon Dornbush of IGN who also played the trial weekend noted the excessive wait times to get in to a game was a little more hopeful and wrote that he hopes that Illfonic "can find a better balance to making the other objectives a bit more interesting".[12]

The PlayStation 4 version of Predator: Hunting Grounds was the tenth bestselling retail game during its first week of release in Japan, selling 9,172 copies.[13]
