SnowRunner is a 2020 simulation video game developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive. Following on from Spintires and the sequel MudRunner, the game was announced as MudRunner 2 in August 2018. Focus Home and Saber Interactive re-revealed the title a year later as SnowRunner. The game was first released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on April 28, 2020, which was then followed by a port for Nintendo Switch on May 18, 2021, then for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 31, 2022, and then by a port for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 9, 2026. SnowRunner has the player control off-road vehicles as they traverse locations to complete objectives. The game features over 60 different vehicles and more than 15 locations. Much of the content is delivered across 5 anniversary year editions as DLC. A spin-off title, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game was released on March 5, 2024.
