SnowRunner News

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

September is coming to an end, and for us it’s time for our monthly Community Update! We’ll soon move aside from Canada to explore a new region in the upcoming new Season. Let's dive in!

[h2]Season 11 “Lights and Cameras” is on the way![/h2]

It’s time for a change of scenery with Season 11! SnowRunner sets sail to a brand new region never explored before in the series: Scandinavia!

You’ll explore two new 4km² maps, filled with dense forests, majestic mountains and crystal-clear lakes!

To explore this new region, two new vehicles specialized in scouting will be at your disposal: the NEO Falcon 2000, and the Burlak 6x6, a powerhouse equipped with a small crane that allows it to rescue stranded vehicles! We’re confident that’s a truck you’ll want in your fleet!

The name “Lights & Cameras” doesn’t come from nowhere: filmmakers in search of jaw dropping backdrops are settled in the region and are needing your help to shoot in the best conditions! Build facades and equipment on the movie sets, drive along extreme mountain roads to prepare the terrain for their shootings and more!



[h2]State of the game [/h2]

Over the past months, we’ve been working in the backstages on improving the experience on SnowRunner. It goes through fixes that we usually push when we release updates, such as new seasons.
We are aware of disconnection issues and steering wheel problems, and we sincerely apologize for that. We understand how frustrating these issues can be and the impact they have on your gaming experience. If you encounter such issue, please reach us here: https://support.saber.games/hc/en-us/categories/6056441571345-SnowRunner


We want to assure you that our development team is committed to solve these issues and is diligently working to address them. However, it's important to note that resolving these technical problems is a lengthy and intricate process. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to deliver a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience for all Runners.
Your feedback and support are invaluable. Thank you for your continued support of SnowRunner.


[h3]That’s it for this month![/h3]
See you in the snow!

Summer is over, meaning it’s time for us to unveil the mods that piqued the interest of our devs over the last two months!

They’re divided in the 3 following categories:

• 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.
  
• 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 “Massive Vehicle” Mod: This category rewards the most massive vehicle mod as judged by the developers.
  

Time to discover who are the winners of August!

[h3]We’ve reached 12 million players![/h3]

In the March Community Update we celebrated 10M players on SnowRunner... and this month we're celebrating 12 million players! +2 million players in 5 months, we can't thank you enough and look forward to growing our dear community even further ❤️



[h3]A little poll for you 🤔[/h3]
We know you're good truck drivers in SnowRunner, but there's a question that's been on our minds for a while: how many of you runners are actually driving trucks for a living? And we were surprised by the percentage of people who said yes! Here’s the results:


12.4% out of a total of 1593 voters on Twitter/X are truck drivers, that's about 200 players!


You were more on Instagram, with 32% out of 6502 voters, giving a total of 2058 people! This is a lot 😱
We hope you enjoy driving trucks in the game as much as you do in real life! Or even more…

And that’s it for this month. The road goes on, and the next news won't be long in coming! Stay tuned 🫡

[h3]Status of PROS [/h3]

With Season 10, we’re aiming to implement Prism Ray Online Services (https://prismray.io/) to SnowRunner on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. PROS will, among other features, add cross-platform Save Transfer to SnowRunner, which means that you’ll be able to transfer your save from one platform to another! On top of that, registered users will get the Ice Age Trucker bundle for free!

We were initially planning to launch this new feature alongside Season 10, but due to technical issues we had to temporarily disable it.The service is back live again, but if you encounter any issue, please don’t hesitate to contact PROS support https://prismray.io/support. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience in the meantime!

[h3]Don’t forget about the mod creator awards 🏆[/h3]
