Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is considered one of my favourite surprises of the yr to date. The snowboarding recreation is an element physics-driven scramble, half stress-free journey by means of nature, and all a really enjoyable time. It’s been free with a paid Recreation Move subscription on Xbox and PC, and simply obtained a brand new set of slopes for gamers to grasp in its first free replace.
The Baifushan Mountain replace is impressed by Chinese language mountainscapes and provides 4 trails with two slopes every, together with new challenges and multiplayer and leaderboard help. It appears to be like like the right little bite-sized growth for followers who already completed the bottom recreation when it launched again in January.
Snow Riders follows Megagon Industries’ 2019 launch Lonely Mountains: Downhill which affords the same premise, simply with bikes and grime as a substitute of skis and snow. This time round, Snow Riders is actually free for anybody on PC or Xbox with a paid Recreation Move subscription. At over 900,000 gamers up to now, it appears possible that’s what number of of them discovered their strategy to the area of interest indie launch.
To that finish, the builders have additionally launched a brand new supporter pack that followers should purchase for $8 to help the sport’s ongoing post-launch improvement or simply say an additional “thanks.” It features a bunch of cosmetics like a retro racing outfit, new backpack, goggles, and different dress-up goodies. If Snow Riders is something like Downhill, there’ll be a number of DLC updates coming.
The sport stays an Xbox and PC unique for now purchase appears more likely to hit different platforms in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later. Within the meantime, PlayStation 5 and Swap gamers can at all times take a look at Downhill to pump themselves up for the spring and summer time mountain biking seasons.
