April Community Update

Hello Runners!


Already the fourth Community Update of the year, let's do a little recap of what's happening on SnowRunner’s roads!

[h2]🎊 It's SnowRunner 3 year anniversary 🎉[/h2]

36 months, 156 weeks, 1095 days spent on the road. It’s been 3 years already since SnowRunner was launched on PC, PS4 and Xbox One! We wanted to thank you all for the support you gave to us since the beginning! The game would not be what it is today without you, and we’ll keep on improving to give you the best of SnowRunner! The adventure is far from over 😃



[h2]You runners are really creative ⛏️📸[/h2]
All year long we carefully watch the mods you create but also your amazing screenshots, and we’re amazed to see the incredible talent that you have!. We wanted to share with you a selection with the best screenshots we could find in the last weeks:

[h2]Short FAQ[/h2]
Here is a small FAQ to answer the frequently asked questions:

When is season 10 coming?
While we can’t give you a release window yet, we can tell you that our teams are currently fully focused on it! A little more patience ;)

When will coop issues be fixed on Xbox consoles?
Our devs are aware of the problems and are on the set. It demands a lot of time and patience, and the team made good progress over the last months. We’ll keep you updated on that matter, we apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience in the meantime.

Will there be a PTS update soon?
We’re expecting to have a PTS update prior to the Season 10 update. No date to communicate yet, we’ll make sure to let you know if a PTS update is on the way.

Why are there less mods available on PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch?
Modders have to update their mods to be available on the different platforms, and then, the mods have to be approved by mod.io, that's why some mods are not available on some consoles.

When will the mastodon DLC be available?
The Mastodon DLC will be available soon, stay tuned not to miss the info!


[h2]It's almost time for the Mod Creator Awards 🏆[/h2]
Like every two months, our devs pick their most liked mods on mod.io! The winners receive a prize, so if you’re into modding, don’t hesitate to share your creations on mod.io! If you missed them, here’s the last edition winners:



And that’s it for this month!

It’s already time for our February Community Update! Season 9 is just around the corner, so let’s find out what Ontario has to offer!

That’s right, runners, one more sleep and you’ll be able to explore Ontario, Canada, for the first time in the SnowRunner series! The Great White North welcomes you with a damaged region, ravaged by wildfires.
No time for strolling, it’s your job to rehabilitate the place! Secure the buildings that are still smoking, make your way through rough terrains and renovate burnt infrastructures to help this land rise from the ashes!

To complete these tasks, two new trucks will be added to the SnowRunner roaster:
  • The Derry Special 15C-177, a firefighting Heavy-class vehicle specialized in carrying water
  • The ZiKZ 566A, a versatile and old-school Off-Road-class vehicle able to carry small amounts of cargo.

Season 9 releases February 28!

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We’re absolutely thrilled to unveil Season 9: Renew & Rebuild, releasing February 28! Prepare for two new maps, two new vehicles, as well as new activities. Discover it with new screenshots and get ready for a firefighting-themed season!

This new season opens the Year 3 Pass, which will include four seasons bringing new maps, new trucks and a host of new cosmetics.



[h2]Help Ontario rise from the ashes![/h2]

Season 9: Renew & Rebuild takes you to Ontario, Canada, a brand new region in SnowRunner, where you will need to bring the devastated region back on its feet following ravaging wildfires. Drive off the roads of Albany River and Burnt Forest, two new 4km² maps. Their early autumn mood has that melancholic feel for a soothing experience as you give life back to a desolate landscape of burnt forest and buildings, flooded farmland, water towers and disaster relief tents.



To fulfill your mission, you’ll take the wheel of two new vehicles: the Derry Special 15C-177, a dedicated Heavy-class vehicle specialized in carrying water with serious torque and incredible durability, and the ZiKZ 566A, a versatile Off-Road-class truck compatible with a wide variety of addons.

Season 9 marks the beginning of SnowRunner’s Year 3 Pass, which will include the upcoming seasons 10, 11 and the game’s third expansion come Season 12.

On top of it all, Year 3 Pass owners will receive the exclusive Save the Day Vinyl Wrap Pack, bringing four exclusive skins for the Freightliner M916A1, Freightliner 114SD, International HX520 and Chevrolet Kodiak С70.
