SnowRunner is getting a second year of post-launch support

Stay the course.

The wonderful SnowRunner has today launched on Steam, Xbox Game Pass and Nintendo Switch alongside Season 4: New Frontiers - and we've got confirmation of a second year of post-launch support.

SnowRunner, which Christian Donlan described as a "beautiful game about getting nowhere slowly", launched last year on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

New Frontiers, meanwhile, is set in Amur Oblast, Russia, and provides 16 square kilometers of Russian wilderness to navigate for the rehabilitation of an abandoned rocket launch site.

Announced today is a £20.99 Year 2 Pass, with four more seasons packed with off-road gubbins due out later in 2021:

  • Season 5: Build & Dispatch
  • Season 6: Haul & Hustle
  • Season 7: Compete & Conquer
  • Season 8: New Expansion

The Year 2 Pass is "right around the corner", publisher Focus Home Interactive said, and features new maps, new vehicles and new activities. Free content for all players includes customisation items and add-ons.

Focus said SnowRunner's total size has been doubled since the first phase of the season pass. It's seen more than two million players, and over 30m mods were downloaded.
