August Community Update - Driver's Diary
Greetings Runners!
Itâs already August and summer is slowly slipping away. But rest assured, weâve got a bunch of good news and exciting projects coming!
You may have noticed the new name given to our usual âSnowRunner Community Updateâ. From now on, we want to provide you with news for SnowRunner, Expeditions and RoadCraft as well! Therefore, to encapsulate it all, we shall call it ⨠âThe Driverâs Diaryâ â¨
RoadCraft
First off: both the Saber and Focus teams are incredibly excited to reveal their new game in collaboration, named RoadCraft!! We also wanted to clarify that RoadCraft is not âthe new SnowRunnerâ, for it does not even fall in the MudRunner series. Itâs a brand new game on its own!đ
In this heavy machinery simulator, you run a company specialized in restoring sites devastated by natural disasters. Your mission is to reshape the aftermath driving your fleet of construction vehicles. đď¸đ
By the way, if youâre still unsure about what the game is about, you may find answers here!
The reveal trailer was presented at Gamescom, but if you missed it, make sure you check it out here:
A few words of reassurance:
We heard concerns that either SnowRunner or Expeditions might be replaced or abandoned due to the arrival of RoadCraft. Rest assured, that wonât happen. SnowRunner, Expeditions and RoadCraft are three very different games! Each is handled by a separate team, and none of them will be left behind.
No matter which game you're playing, you'll continue to receive updates and new content!đ
SnowRunner
This month, the Public Test Server of SnowRunner received several updates, bringing a lot of changes and bug fixes and also allowing you to play Season 14: Reap & Sow early!! The launch of season 14 is planned for early October on all platforms, so stay tuned!
If you want to read the list of changes brought to the branch, you may find it here!
Also last month, the powerful Rezvani Tank arrived as a standalone DLC and we worked on several fixes to provide you with the best experience on the roads. Have you had the chance to ride the Rezvani Tank yet? How do you like it? Let us know!
Expeditions
Dear adventurers, expect some new free content coming with Season 1: Cave Odyssey đ Also, the co-op mode is now fully available on Steam: itâs time to invite your friends to play!
Please take note that consoles will receive co-op in a separate patch on the same day, when Season 1 releases!
To make sure youâre always up-to-date on our games' latest newsâŚ
Hereâs a nice announcement we need to make:
If you're a dedicated fan who loves reading patch notes and mod lists, you might have noticed theyâre no longer on our forum. Thatâs because weâre launching a new platform called Focus Together! â¨
This platform was made just for players. It will feature news, exclusive content, direct chats with the devs of your favorite Focus games, and a place to suggest ideas for future projects! (How exciting is that??) It's also the perfect place for patch notes, weekly console mod lists, and contest announcements.
Sign up to Focus Togetherhere and get all the latest news about SnowRunner, Expeditions and RoadCraft!

As always, thank you all for your continued support. We are working very hard to provide you with the best possible experience, so stay tuned for future updates, and see you next month!

Hello Runners! đ
It may be the vacations, but we've still had some notable things happen this month!
A new monster is in the place!
The Rezvani Tank is now available as a Standalone DLC! Fitted with the same engine as the Rezvani Hercules, this scoutâs power and agility are truly second-to-none. Look at this beauty:

Moreover, on August 1st, there will be an update on the Public Test Server, to accommodate the future arrival of S14, stay tuned for more info!
As always, your support and feedback are very much appreciated, even after all these years.
Stay tuned, and donât forget to follow our socials to stay informed!
Dear Expeditions players,
On Expeditions, the co-op mode finally arrived on PC earlier this month! For console players, it will be deployed later this year. A few issues spotted with the arrival of the mode were also fixed in the latest hotfix, as well as many other bugs.
Co-op mode allows you to team up with 3 other adventurers to explore the wilds and conduct research. You have access to a lot of options during the preparation phase: youâre allowed to select the region you want, and you can pick up to 4 vehicles and 3 specialists. As the host, you also have the possibility to build base modules. Guests can choose 1 vehicle and use said modules, but they canât build them.
Co-op mode enables you to engage in any kind of activities, exchange resources, share rewards, track your buddies and use the quick chat system to give each other information through signals.
As a guest, it is worth noting that you can play to every content purchased by the host, even if you did not yourself!
You can find the complete patch notes here, and keep in mind that there has been one hotfix since then.
Moreover, the gameâs roadmap has been updated, with the release of Season 1 now planned for early September, with free content and numerous changes to improve your overall experience.
