SnowRunner on Mac is also fitted with the extensive mod support offered by our partners at Mod.io, allowing players to extend the game beyond any limit thanks to the creativity of its rich community.

Marking this monumental occasion, SnowRunner also introduces two thrilling new DLC packs: the Kenworth W990 DLC and the Jack of all Treads Tire Pack. The Kenworth W990 DLC boasts a brand-new, formidable truck, amplifying the fleet and opening new avenues for daring off-road conquests. Meanwhile, the Jack of all Treads Tire Pack offers over 50 tire and rim combinations, allowing players to fine-tune their vehicles for the most challenging terrains and climates.
