'SnowRunner' (ALL) Celebrates One Million Players With Free New Environment

by Rainier on June 11, 2020 @ 8:49 a.m. PDT

SnowRunner once again dares players to take charge of incredible all-terrain vehicles across extreme landscapes.

Teased previously as MudRunner 2, SnowRunner is the ultimate off-road experience, made bigger and better with stunning visuals, advanced simulation physics, massive maps and vehicles, and the introduction of snowy terrain.

The sequel puts players back in the driver seat, daring them to take charge of incredible all-terrain vehicles, venturing across extreme landscapes with only a map and compass as guides!

Your driving skills are needed! Create and expand your transportation company by taking on brand new industries and establishing your own supply networks. Provide goods and services to your clients from the frozen depths of Siberia to the rocky heights of Michigan.

To help you in your task, drive a huge roster of enormous customizable vehicles including some of the most iconic trucks from manufacturers like Pacific, Navistar, and more. Gear up your rigs to overcome muddy terrain, raging rivers and other obstacles that realistically react to the weight and movement of your vehicle, powered by the new game's advanced physics engine. Uncover new, untamed terrains in extreme conditions, each with their own challenges, and discover the most optimal path for your chosen vehicle to deliver your goods safely.

Complete and unlock different types of contracts, obtain additional vehicles, access new add-ons and customization options as you progress. SnowRunnercan be played solo or with friends in fully synchronous 4-player co-op. PC players can expect full mod support at launch, allowing for near infinite off-road experiences created by the community. Mod support for consoles is also in development.

SnowRunner has gathered over one million players since its release on April 28.

'With the “Runner” series, Saber has created the ultimate off-road simulation experience.  The Swarm Engine that powers the game is helping to redefine expectations for vehicle simulation.  We are thrilled to have reached this milestone so quickly.' says Matthew Karch, founder and CEO at Saber Interactive

Today sees the first in a long series of updates that enrich the SnowRunner experience. The “Rift” update, free on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, adds a fourth environment to the Russian region of Taymyr, bringing the number of maps available in the base game to 12.

Saber Interactive is actively preparing for the start of Phase 1 of SnowRunner’s post-launch content, which will be released via several updates later this summer. This first phase includes Season 1: Search & Recover, available as part of the Season Pass or to purchase separately. This adds new vehicles along with a brand new Russian region: the Kola Peninsula. Phase 1 will also offer a multitude of free content - new missions, skins, advanced modding tools for creating environments and interior customization objects, vehicle add-ons and more - all at no extra cost for all players. More information is coming soon.
