Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is one in all my favourite surprises of the 12 months to this point. The snowboarding sport 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 Go 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 assist. It seems to be like the right little bite-sized enlargement for followers who already completed the bottom sport when it launched again in January.
Snow Riders follows Megagon Industries’ 2019 launch Lonely Mountains: Downhill which affords an analogous premise, simply with bikes and dust as a substitute of skis and snow. This time round, Snow Riders is basically free for anybody on PC or Xbox with a paid Recreation Go subscription. At over 900,000 gamers up to now, it appears seemingly that’s what number of of them discovered their option to the area of interest indie launch.
To that finish, the builders have additionally launched a brand new supporter pack that followers can purchase for $8 to assist the sport’s ongoing post-launch growth 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 variety of DLC updates coming.
The sport stays an Xbox and PC unique for now purchase appears prone to hit different platforms sooner or later sooner or later. Within the meantime, PlayStation 5 and Swap gamers can all the time try Downhill to pump themselves up for the spring and summer season mountain biking seasons.
