After the release of the vehicle simulation Snowrunner on April 28, 2020, the game has received three content updates so far. After a little more than a year of exclusivity in the Epic Games Store, Snowrunner will also be released on Steam on May 18, 2021. With the release of the game, “Season 4: New Frontiers” will be the biggest content update to date. In the following we explain what to expect.
Phase 4: The new map
The new map is located in Russia and covers 12 square kilometers. Four new areas await you in which there are numerous tasks – more on that later. These are the new regions:
- Urska River
- Cosmodrome
- Northern Aegis Installation
- Chernokamensk
Your task on the new map: You are responsible for building a missile launch pad. The client is a private company that is reaching for the stars. The region itself has hardly been developed so far and as usual you dig your way through snow, mud and fight against the rough nature. You build the infrastructure for the base by building bridges, building residential buildings for the workers, repairing fuel lines and building the mission center out of the ground. Once you’ve done everything, you transport the rocket to its destination yourself.
Two new vehicles
With phase 4 you not only get a new map, but also two new vehicles. You also need them to complete the tasks.
The ZiKZ 605R tractor: The new vehicle is based on the MAZ-537 and resembles a modernized form of the vehicle. The ZiKZ 605R is delivered to you with all-wheel drive and differential lock. You can fill the tank with 380 liters of diesel, which makes the heavy truck the perfect vehicle in the new region.
Khan 317 Sentinel Scout: The exploration of the new region succeeds with the Khan 317. The agile jeep is ideal for exploring the unreal world and finding the perfect route.
There will also be new content for the base game. In the trailer for phase 4, the new content is presented again in detail:

When does the new update appear? Phase 4 will be released on May 18, 2021. In addition to the Epic Games Store, the simulation will also appear at Steam and for the Nintendo Switch. It is already available on the consoles for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
With the release on Steam and the accompanying update, Snowrunner will be even more extensive. The new map with the four regions presents you with new challenges.
Snowrunner has a co-op mode in which you and friends master the numerous challenges. If you are looking for the right simulation in multiplayer, you can take a look at our top simulators in multiplayer:
