SnowRunner - September 2021 Development News

September has come to an end. As always, the SnowRunner developers have provided a summary of the changes for September, as well as information about upcoming updates. 

Changes in September

The biggest change in September was the update adding the Rostov region, which many players have come to love, judging by the feedback. At the beginning of September, a seasonal pass was released, which added a lot of interesting content to the game, including the new region.

Equally important, the developers added crossplay between different PC platforms: Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, to be precise. This is very important since players complained that they couldn’t play with their friends because the games were purchased from different stores. The problem has been partially resolved.

A little later in September, a small add-on called Jeep Dual Pack was released, which added cool jeeps designed specifically for off-roading, and in SnowRunner, almost every location is difficult to traverse. 

Updates, music, and more

Unfortunately, in this release, the developers provided very little information about upcoming updates, but at least they shared something. Work on the sixth season pass is actively ongoing. As is known, in the sixth season, players will be able to visit a new American region. Additionally, new special vehicles will be added. We will wait for the developers to provide more information.

Work on improving the quality of SnowRunner for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles is also actively continuing. Besides standard improvements, the developers are working on full crossplay for next-generation consoles, a 60 frames-per-second mode, and other enhancements. It is unclear when all this will be available. 

Work on the technical side of the game for both consoles and PC is also actively ongoing. By mid-October, the developers will release a patch that fixes a number of serious (and less serious) bugs. The patch is named 15.1.

On a less exciting note, the developers published an eight-hour SnowRunner soundtrack video on YouTube. According to them, this background music is perfect for relaxing, driving, or even studying if you want pleasant music playing in the background! 

And the last news for today. SnowRunner will be presented at the annual AUSA Annual Meeting (October 11-13). With that, the interesting news about this game comes to an end.
