Play Overview
SnowRunner is an off-road driving simulation game that follows up MudRunner. You drive all-terrain vehicles to traverse between locations and complete deliveries. You need to use the vehicle's gears, all-wheel-drive, fuel levels and other features to negotiate the often broken-down roads. Along with using just a map and compass to navigate you need to take care of your vehicle that tracks damage.
You play in a range of different regions after specific disasters have taken place: floods, snowfall and pipeline breaks. This sets the scene for you to earn money by helping the situation. As you do you can buy better vehicles that can traverse deeper into the difficult terrain. Some missions are set within a specific time limit, with rewards that get better the faster you complete them.
You can earn aesthetic and mechanical customisations for your vehicles. These range from changing the colour to altering the kinds of tires or installing a frame attachment. The mechanical changes help you complete more missions.
