It's time for the steam awards again, and what a year it's been! From full release and multiplayer to twitch tournaments, this year has been a REAL ride! We've been so overwhelmed by the amount of support and amazing clips from all of you this year, it's made all the hard work worth it!

We weren't sure what award to suggest, but we think we picked the best-suited one ;) You'll have to let us know if we got that wrong! We'd REALLY appreciate your vote, it's really straightforward to do!



It's been a big year for Descenders! Coming out of early access is always nerve-wracking, especially when you're launching a whole multiplayer component to it, but your support made it a breeze - we wouldn't have been able to do it without you! You not only helped us shape multiplayer, but showed us how amazing Twitch tournaments could be, and fostered a love for modding in us that led to the modding update and Mt. Rosie!

Now with modding, we're seeing Descenders played in ways we never imagined - the downhill mountain biking game now really HAS got something for everyone, and it's been amazing to see. We cannot WAIT to see what maps, videos, screenshots, gear and more people make into the new year and beyond!

Don't forget, we've also been working hard on the Switch version of Descenders, as well as some other cool secrets - the work never ends! Soon you'll be able to take your bike and tackle the trails wherever you go and share the experience with even more friends than ever before!


Thank you again, without you none of this would be possible

See you on the trails,

Rage Squid & No More Robots

The modding update has been out a little while now and we're having SO MUCH FUN riding through all of your amazing creations. We hope you are too!

To celebrate, here are our 5 MUST TRY MODS to get you started and thinking about what YOU could create!



https://descenders.mod.io/stoker-bike-park

Although this is still a work in progress and Spe says there's still a lot of content to come, this is a GREAT flowy map with tons of potential. If you're looking for a nice realistic park, make sure you load up this one!



https://descenders.mod.io/descetopia
Mountain biking through streets, across buildings and climbing to the top of skyscrapers? Yep. Descetopia has it all for you! A great place to show off skills you've picked up across levels like Favela!



https://descenders.mod.io/oso-creek
Looking for a bike park with a little more bite? Oso Creek is a great & fun wooded environment with lots of challenging ramps and flowing sections to navigate!



https://descenders.mod.io/mega-park
A hardcore map for those looking for a serious playground. Showcase your skills and be ready for some surprises - there are quite a few!



https://descenders.mod.io/forest
Another work in progress but a really great idea that with some more content will be a STELLAR map. If you're looking for that bang on downhill experience down muddy tracks with some really interesting technical aspects, you've got it!



We can't wait to see what else folks come up with in future, and can't wait to see videos and screenshots from these and all the other maps up on mod.io already!

As always, thank you for playing
