[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]
The February Mod Creator Awards are here! Time to discover this month's dev selection of fine mods!

Here’s the categories:
1. Vehicle: Overall favorite vehicles, based on both look and how it feels to play. (Two winners)
2. Map: Favorite maps based on their design, including tasks, missions, flow, aesthetics, and how it feels to play..
3. Unique: The most original, creative and funny mods. Those which bend the rules and those which come out of nowhere.

Please note that starting from March, the Mod Creator Awards will slightly change, with a change to the already existing categories. March categories will be Most Popular Map, Most Popular Vehicle and Developer Choice. The two first categories will award the most popular mods (based on our data), but the third one will not take into consideration the popularity of the mod, which means every modder will have a chance to earn the prize! Our goal is to push the boundaries of the creativity and innovation of our modding community!

Now, let’s get started with February winners!

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We’re happy to announce that SnowRunner expands its roster of tough and powerful vehicles with the new Crocodile Pack, available today on Steam! Nicknamed after the timeless reptile for its signature shape and deep engine bellowing, the brand new Step 33-64 “Crocodile” truck comes with three uniquely styled add-ons. Check it out in today’s new screenshots!



[h2]A jack-of-all-trades with a vintage, no-nonsense design[/h2]

The Step 33-64 “Crocodile” is as versatile as it is humble, able to switch between tasks and terrains without a hitch. Accompanying the Step 33-64 in the Crocodile Pack come three visually unique add-ons to complete the vintage look; Rescue vehicles with the maintenance and fuel add-ons, and haul cargo with the side-board. Rumbling through wild and snowy forests in the Step 33-64, it’s easy to forget the year, as well as the passing of time.



The Crocodile Pack is available today for purchase on Steam as a standalone DLC. The ultimate off-roading experience, SnowRunner, its Year 1 and Year 2 Passes are available now on Steam. For more information, visit our official store page.

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We’re back for another Monthly Community Update! It may not seem from the outside, but it has been a very busy month for SnowRunner! Let’s see what’s going on backstage!

Here’s our Valentine, who’s yours?

[h2]A new patch is on its way![/h2]

We’re planning to release the 16.1 patch early March! This patch will bring bug fixes (to photo mode, UI, vehicles and more), as well as the long awaited crossplay with Xbox consoles! We’re so happy to finally bring crossplay to Xbox, and that means the only platform not yet compatible with crossplay is the Nintendo Switch. But don’t worry, we’re working hard to extend crossplay to Switch as well!
There will be a short maintenance of service (around 30 minutes) before the update. For those wondering, the complete detailed patch notes will be available as soon as the update is live. Make sure to follow our social media channels not to miss it! (Twitter, Facebook, Discord)

[h2]A glimpse of Season 7: Compete & Conquer[/h2]

As we were saying in the introduction, it has been a very busy month from our side! As you can expect, our teams are fully dedicated to the preparation of Season 7. We can’t share a lot with you yet, but here’s a first view of what awaits you next season:

What do you mean “we don’t see anything?”

“Compete & Conquer” will take place in Tennessee, and will include new vehicles and brand new activities (and as one can guess, there will be competition!). It’s still a bit too early for us to disclose more, but you’ll soon hear more about this new season!
What are you competing for? Give us your best guess in the comments below!

[h2]What’s next?[/h2]

As we previously stated, we’re fully focused on bringing Season 7 to the game. Of course, it doesn’t mean that we’re putting aside the port of the game on next gen consoles. In fact, we made another step forward in bringing SnowRunner to these consoles. We thank you once again for your patience and understanding.

We’re also focused on extending crossplay to Nintendo Switch, you can expect the feature to arrive in the future months.

At the same time, the team is also working on solving various reported bugs. Your feedback and suggestions are truly motivating and help us move forward and improve the game, so once again, thank you so much for your involvement and your dedication!



That’s it for this month! We’re heading towards exciting times for SnowRunner, and we can’t wait to share more with you about what’s coming next!

See you in the snow!

The Saber and Focus teams.
