SnowRunner FAQ

[h3]Hey Runners, [/h3][p][/p][p]Even though SnowRunner has been around for a while, we wanted to take the time to update and clarify important information for both new and veteran players. This FAQ gathers the most frequently asked questions and provides clear, up-to-date answers. ✅[/p][p][/p][p]Q: What is SnowRunner? [/p][p][/p][p]SnowRunner is the ultimate off-road simulation experience, featuring incredible snow and mud physics in beautiful and wild environments. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: On which platforms can I play SnowRunner? [/p][p][/p][p]SnowRunner is available on Steam, EGS, PS4/PS5, Xbox One & Series X|S and Microsoft Store. [/p][p]It is also available on Nintendo Switch and Mac, with 16 seasons of post-launch content ready for you to enjoy. However, no further updates or DLCs are scheduled, and the Year 5 Pass is not available for purchase on these platforms. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: Where can I buy SnowRunner? [/p][p][/p][p]SnowRunner is available here: [/p][p][/p][p]Q: Is there multiplayer? [/p][p] Yes, SnowRunner supports up to four-player synchronous multiplayer. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: Is there crossplay? [/p][p][/p][p]SnowRunner has crossplay! [/p][p]PC (Steam & EGS), Xbox and PlayStation players can play together and join each others’ games seamlessly.

The engine is also the same as the one used on Expeditions: a MudRunner game.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Are there mud maps? [/p][p] Absolutely. Mud is in our blood! SnowRunner features maps with snow and maps with mud. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: What additional content can I get for SnowRunner?[/p][p][/p][p]You can get additional content by purchasing our five Year Passes including 20 seasons, in addition to a dozen standalone DLCs offering new trucks, skins and add-ons![/p][p][/p][p]Q: Is it possible to test upcoming updates in advance? [/p][p]
Before we put out major content updates, we usually make them available through a Public Test Server (PTS) on Epic Games Store, where you can test the upcoming content and provide feedback. [/p][p]Keep in mind that you will likely encounter bugs on the PTS, since it's a testing environment. [/p][p][/p][p]Q: I just encountered a bug or a crash, where can I find help? [/p][p][/p][p]If you encounter a bug in SnowRunner, please let us know in our support center and we'll do our best to help you out![/p][p][/p][p]Q: Does SnowRunner support mods? [/p][p][/p][p]Yes, SnowRunner supports mods! You can install mods on PC, through mod.io, and on consoles, via the in-game “Mod Browser” available on the game’s Main Menu. [/p][p]Every week, we share a list of new and updated console mods on our socials! [/p][p][/p][p]If you’re interested in creating mods for SnowRunner, you’ll find all the info on mod.io! Don’t forget to introduce yourself to our modding community on Discord! [/p][p][/p][p]Q: What are the supported steering wheels? [/p][p][/p][p]The list of compatible steering wheels in SnowRunner is the following: [/p][p]- Logitech G29 [/p][p]- Logitech G29 with gearbox [/p][p]- Logitech G920 [/p][p]- Logitech G Saitek Farm Sim Controller [/p][p]- Logitech G Saitek Farm Sim with Heavy Equipment Side Panel [/p][p]- Logitech G923 (PS4 Layout) [/p][p]- Logitech G923 with gearbox (PS4 Layout)[/p][p]- Logitech G923 (Xbox Layout)[/p][p]- Logitech G923 with gearbox (Xbox Layout) [/p][p]- Thrustmaster T-GT [/p][p]- Thrustmaster T80 [/p][p]- Thrustmaster T150 [/p][p]- Thrustmaster T300 [/p][p]- Thrustmaster TX [/p][p]- Thrustmaster TX with clutch pedal[/p][p]- Fanatec DD1 (Xbox Layout) [/p][p]- Fanatec DD1 (PS4 Layout)[/p][p]- MOZA Steering Wheel[/p][p]- MOZA R5[/p][p]- Hori Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PS5[/p][p]- Hori Truck Control System[/p][p]- Hori Truck Control System with gearbox[/p][p]- Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race Wheel[/p][p]
