Sledders

Sledders is a snowmobile simulator about freeriding through deep powder on large, open backcountry maps. There is no set route: you choose your line and see whether your sled can make it. You can ride alone or with friends online, including cross-play with players on PlayStation and Xbox.

Ride through deep snow

The snow physics rely on body movement: you lean the sled onto its side and countersteer to sidehill across slopes or carve between trees. Feathering the throttle is part of controlling the sled. The learning curve can be demanding, with getting stuck in powder, hitting trees and attempting difficult climbs many times before reaching the top. Once you get the hang of it, you can hit jumps and attempt backflips.

Ride together and race

Meet friends at the bottom of a steep climb and see who reaches the top. Proximity voice chat lets you hear nearby riders, including a friend stuck partway up a sidehill. For races, you can create a route through the trees and compete in the same lobby, or send it to someone to chase your time later. The game also has ready-made races, where you can compare your time with everyone else's.

Sleds and customization

The garage includes licensed Arctic Cat, Lynx, Polaris and Ski-Doo sleds, from deep-snow mountain sleds to trail sleds, as well as retro sleds. You can customize the sled, helmet and suit with your own wraps, changing colors down to the handlebars.

Conditions and community content

Choose the time of day, weather and snow conditions before riding. An optional fuel system means planning your trip to reach a gas station. You can switch to first person and turn off the HUD. Players can download community-made maps and wraps inside the game, or create and share their own maps using the level editor.

Replay mode lets you watch a run from any angle, follow another rider with a drone camera and ride against the ghost of your best run. The game also includes:
