Driver's Diary of February

[h3]Hey Runners, February’s almost over! ❄️[/h3]
February has been packed with exciting updates! We saw the launch of RoadCraft’s demo on Steam and the release of Expeditions Season 2, bringing new vehicles and challenges. Whether you’ve been exploring new content or conquering tough terrains, it’s been a great month for all of us!
Let’s take a quick look back at what happened this month. 👇

[h2]🚚 SnowRunner[/h2]

[h3]Let’s kick things off with the Mack Dual Pack! 🚛[/h3]
As part of this DLC, we introduced a new tool that we initially referred to as the ‘RGB Selector’. We realize now thanks to your feedback that this was a bit of a mix-up since it doesn’t actually let you input hex codes. Our apologies for the confusion!
To make things clearer, the tool has now been renamed to the ‘Color Tool’.

Check out our tutorial here!

We hope you still enjoyed this new feature, along with all the exciting content already available in the Mack Dual Pack!
Also, a quick heads-up: in Season 15, the Color Tool will be getting an upgrade, bringing even more customization options to your vehicles!

[h3]Speaking of SnowRunner’s Season 15, it will bring some serious winter vibes! ❄️[/h3]
Get ready to explore a brand new region, Québec, where snow-covered landscapes and icy challenges await.
This season will test your skills in harsh winter environments, with two new maps and two fresh vehicles to help you conquer the cold terrain.
We can’t reveal too much just yet, but trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
Stay tuned for more details coming soon! 🚛

[h3]Last but not least: Razer Sensa HD Haptics is now in SnowRunner! 💚[/h3]
Get ready to feel every bump, splash, and slide! SnowRunner just got even more immersive with Razer Sensa HD Haptics!
🚜 Feel the Terrain: From deep mud to icy roads, experience unique haptic feedback for every surface.
⚙️ Dynamic Engine Rumble: Sense every gear shift and the raw power of your truck.
🔧 Every Interaction Comes to Life: From collisions to garage upgrades, feel every moment in the driver’s seat.
Strap in and take off-road immersion to the next level with the Razer Kraken V4 Pro gaming headset and Razer Freyja HD Haptic gaming cushion!


[h2]🔎 Expeditions[/h2]

Yesterday, we released Expeditions Season 2: White Dawn.
This update brings three new trucks 🚛, the all-new East Beskids map 🗺️, and plenty of other exciting content to discover.
We’re already hearing your feedback and can’t wait to see you explore all that’s new! 🙌
For more info on Season 2, check it out here!

And don’t worry! We’re already working on Season 3, so stay tuned for more updates soon! 👀

[h2] 🚧 RoadCraft[/h2]

In case you missed it, we launched a free RoadCraft demo on February 24 as part of Steam Next Fest!
If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time! Check it out here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3456580/RoadCraft_Demo/#buy

Get hands-on with three unique missions on different maps, specially crafted for this demo.
You'll get a solid glimpse of the full RoadCraft experience!
We’ve been carefully reading all your feedback for now, and we’re taking it into account for what’s next. We’re preparing a post-demo blog to tackle your most pressing questions.
Also, a quick reminder: RoadCraft is not SnowRunner 2. The features in the demo represent what you can expect from the game, but this is far from the full experience. These will be two distinct and unique experiences.

And finally, a huge thank you to the 200,000+ players who have already jumped into the demo! Many of you have shared your constructions and experiences with us, and we love seeing your creativity in action. Keep them coming! 🚧✨
