SnowRunner News

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We hope you all had a great time celebrating the end of the year! Let's start this new year on a high with our devs’ monthly selection of awesome mods!

Picking 3 mods out of all the creations is not an easy process with all the incredible mods on mod.io, so don't hesitate check on the SnowRunners mod.io page to discover more creations by the community!

1. Best Map: The map that our devs liked the most, based on their design, including tasks, missions, flow, aesthetics, and how it feels to play.
   
2. Best New Vehicle: The devs will pick a recent mod which has the most impressive model to them, based on both look and how it feels to play.
   
3. Best Tractor: Our devs were so impressed by the tractor mods created for Season 8 that they wanted to reward one of them! Their pick was based on authenticity and originality.

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We have another list of awesome new mods to share with you! Our developers made their choice and here’s the 3 winners of this month!
They’re divided in the 3 following categories:

1. Best New Map: The new map that our devs liked the most.Their choice is 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.
   
2. 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.
   
3. Best Tractor: With Season 8 focused on farming, what would have been more fitting than a “Best Tractor” award?
