SpOoOkY👻 -by u/Perfect-Swing-3931Farm-tober!
Season 8: Grand Harvest is now live on Steam! Hope you’re all having fun farming the fields of Belozersk Glades!
We did not only add Season 8 content, we also made some slight changes to the Western Star vehicles, based on your feedback! We’re always looking to improve SnowRunner, so your reaction is incredibly valuable to us. We’re happy to read your thoughts on the game, so keep sharing them with us!
You can find the full Season 8 patch notes here: Season 8 Patch notes
Please note in case you missed it, we deployed the 19.1 update last week. It fixes various issues that appeared with the launch of season 8, including a bug that turned hard mode saves into normal mode saves. We’re deeply sorry for the inconvenience, and for the stress that you might have experienced due to a potential loss of a save.
The complete 19.1 patch notes is available here: Patch 19.1

BUT it also means it’s time for our Monthly Community Update, let’s see what’s happening in the backstages of SnowRunner!
Some trucks are just born taller - by u/TopCheemsMore info on Season 8!
Season 8 is named “Grand Harvest”, and that’s for a good reason! You will discover 4 new massive summer maps in a brand new region, never explored before in the SnowRunner franchise! That’s for the “Grand” part, and about the “Harvest”, your task will be to restore the electrical power supply system in the region, clean & fertilize the fields, and finally, sow crops and reap the benefits!
“Grand Harvest” is indeed focused on farming, and to help you complete this task, 3 new vehicles will be at your disposal: the Kirovets K-700, a four wheel drive tractor with impressive power for its size; its modern version the K7M to help you plow all types of fields; and the Step 39331 ‘Pike’, a fine choice for all the transportation duties!
That’s it for this month!
As you can expect, our team is currently fully focused on Season 8. We can’t reveal the release date yet, but make sure to stay tuned by following us on our social media channels not to miss it! (Discord, Facebook, Twitter)
