[h2]Hello Runners! 🚚[/h2]

It’s October already! The sun is setting early, the leaves are falling, so it’s time to sit back and relax. 🍂 SnowRunner will have a rather quiet month: therefore, there won’t be any big news.

However, for those who are curious about RoadCraft, make sure you scroll down this Driver’s Diary for a Q&A and developers’ insights.



Let’s start this off with good news: we’ve recently reached 16 million players! 🎉🥳 We wanted to extend our warmest thanks to the entire MudRunner community for being such devoted and loyal fans. Your support fuels our motivation everyday 😁

Since there is no hot topic at the moment, we would love to hear your feedback on Season 14: Reap & Sow. Tell us how you like it!

The compatible steering wheels list will soon get expanded: We’re teaming up with Turtle Beach to implement the VelocityOne™ Race Wheel & Pedal System in the game. Take a look here!

And now, let’s highlight some of the community’s virtual photos that are reminiscent of fall.

An important Patch is coming to the game! 🚚

This Patch was crafted as a response to the players’ wishes! Therefore, it will bring many Quality of Life changes, such as the much-awaited SnowRunner control scheme, UI and UX enhancements and game flow improvement in the garage. Keep an eye out for the Patch notes coming soon!

Here’s a small list of changes to expect with the next patch:

• Compass on the map
  
• Possibility of truck recovery to any accessible outpost, including recovery between different maps
  
• Redesigned truck markers
  
• Area exploration stages have been made easier: players don't have to explore hard-to-reach places to pass a stage
  
• and more, so stay tuned!
  

Please also note that the initial Roadmap has been updated to reflect this change. You can find the complete explanation here.

We have something in store for Spooky Season! From October 31 to November 12, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock 2 Halloween themed skins for the KRS 58 Bandit and the Collie Pug 293! 🎃 To redeem these skins, you’ll simply have to launch the game and link your account to PROS.

[h3]Also, a fan creation has caught our attention! 🛠[/h3]

Appie shared images of an original mini brick set of the Albatross. Here’s a first picture but watch the full thread here.
