For many in the Northern Hemisphere, May is not typically a month for snow, but nevertheless SnowRunner is heading to the Nintendo Switch on 18th May. For anyone that's encountered it before now, that may be slightly surprising news.
SnowRunner has drawn some comparison to Death Stranding, except rather than be in the shoes of a gruff actor with too much to carry, you're driving a wide range of powerful vehicles across tricky and dangerous landscapes. You take on quests, expand your fleet of vehicles, improve them to aid your journey and do a lot of careful, steady driving.
For those that get immersed - and many people have - it can be an intriguing time-sink of a game. It's impressive that it's being ported to Switch as it's quite a demanding, physics-heavy game in an open world environment; the press release promises "all the same content and adventure as the PC and other console versions".
It'll be fascinating to see how it turns out; you can check out a gameplay overview from the 2020 release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One below.

Good !
I loved mudrunner. For those who don't know what it is, try it ! It is often on sale on Eshop.
Excellent, been keeping an eye out for this for a while now. Looking forward to it, hopefully a decent port
Nice one,I was hoping this would come. I really enjoyed Mudrunner.

Ugh, driving simulations are not my bag.
This game is Amazing. The level of detail put in to it is incredible. Let's just hope that transfers over to the Switch.
@tatanga same here mudrunner is great unless you dont like mud
AH ! I was longing for it ! Yeessss !!
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this! MudRunner is amazing and I never thought we'd see this one on the Switch with it being a huge step up graphically. I can't wait!
This game put a spell on my non gamer dad 😆. Very relaxing and fun game.
I’d really like to try this, also been interested in mudrunner for a long time but... these are the types of realistic games I really want to see at their best. Unless they’re going to look better on the “Switch Pro,” I’ll probably just have to pass. (Unless I get em for like 80+ percent off...)
Put on one of these games, put on your favorite music and just sit back and relax. Some play AC to unwind, I play games like this and farming sim.
It looks unbelievably good. I have Mudrunner on Switch and I love it. Hopefully they can improve on some of the quality of life features like navigation and variety of missions.
If it runs well, it's a sale
Snowrunner is incredible. Makes Mudrunner look like a tech demo.
Realy loved mudrunmer hope the switch port of snowrunner will be good.
Mudrunner is the best vehicle game on the switch. Period. graphics, and physycs area absolutely amazing. Hopefully this one will be even better. This is a must for me.
@Slowdive No I agree, looks really good for what it’s running on, but... that sweet juicy 60fps... and glistening high res mud... idk, hoping the rumors are true about the new Switch having noticeably better performance/graphics.
My brother loves this, said to me "it's like Death Stranding but with trucks". Awesome, I said, you should borrow my copy of Death Stranding you like, it's really interesting. "Nah".
A game called snowrunner and ignoring the ice road of northern Canada.
Hey all! Are there any other games anyone can recommend that are similar to MudRunner? I absolutely love that game. And i WILL get snowrunner...ive watched hundreds of videos on youtube, but cant find what im really looking for. Thanks ahead of time!
