Spintires: MudRunner news 83

The developers promised a long time ago to release MudRunner for mobile devices. No one expected it, but the day has come – according to official information, the developers will release the mobile version of this game on July 15, 2020. The game will be available for download on Android and iOS systems.

The mobile version of the game differs little from the PC version and the console versions. The only difference is the interface, the GUI, which is quite normal in the case of porting. Thanks to the new engine, players will be able to experience new emotions, gain an incredibly cool experience, and explore various locations.

The mobile version is being handled by different developers, so the development of the PC version and the console versions will not slow down. Separate updates will be released for the mobile version by different developers, and separate ones for other platforms.

Pre-orders for the mobile version of the game are available. For iOS, you can pre-order right now, and on Google Play, you can add the game to your wishlist.

Along with the "The Ridge" DLC, a free update is released featuring a list of fixes and improvements. Experience the new map "The Ridge," where players will have to find logs in the desert. 2 new vehicles: the heavy tractor D-538 and the light tractor B-6A.

You can purchase the Ridge DLC here: iOS Store and Android Playmarket. It can be found via search, just like the game.

Full list of changes:
- 1 map - "The Ridge";
- 2 vehicles - D-538 and B-6A;
- Push notifications;
- Gameplay and UX improvements;

In the new update, the developers added the ability for cross-play multiplayer for owners of the Steam and Epic Games Store versions of the game; in the latter case, it is currently free.
If you play on Steam, to play with Epic Games Store (EGS) players, you need to have an EGS account and the game in your library accordingly. When entering the multiplayer menu, you will be able to enable the new cross-play feature.
For this, you will need to link the two accounts. Using this guide, you can link both accounts. Confirm the permission and play with your friends. All users with EGS will be able to connect to you, and you to them.
