It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the concept and setting, as well as the animal-taming mechanic and world design. Everyday survival is a key aspect of the gameplay, as players have to watch out for both natural predators and rival tribesmen.įar Cry Primal was released worldwide for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 23, 2016, Windows on March 1, 2016, and for Google Stadia on May 17, 2022.
