SnowRunner News

We hope you all spent a nice Halloween, filled with tricks-and-treats! Let’s start this new month with our dev's monthly selection of your amazing mods!

They’re divided in the 3 following categories:

• Best ‘On-Set’ Vehicle: To celebrate the Season 11: Lights & Cameras release, this category rewards the mod that embodies this new season’s spirit and its cinema aspect the most, as judged by the developers.
  
• Best New Vehicle: The devs will pick a recent mod which has the most impressive model to them. It also includes what stands out to them in terms of being satisfying to drive, be it due to authenticity or just plain fun.
  
• Best New Map: The new map that our devs liked the most, based on the map design, including tasks, missions, flow, and how it feels to play. Also based on the most impressive, detailed, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
  

Time to discover who are the winners of October!

[h3]What are we up to?[/h3]
This past month, we’ve been continuing to work on improving your gaming experience on SnowRunner. While we have already made progress on game fixes, we are still working on its stability, especially concerning crossplay.

On other news, we wanted to let you know that we are currently working on the final stages for the game’s release on Mac, so stay tuned! It might release sooner than you think…
Speaking of soon, keep an eye out for our two new DLCs coming out next month! You’ll be able to get a cosmetic one to embellish your trucks with brand-new rims and a new set of tires, but also one with a new vehicle to expand your collection!

New truck incoming!! Can you guess which one it is?

[h3]That’s it for this month![/h3]

Two new vehicles are also arriving, the NEO Falcon 2000 and Burlak 6x6.
