Sledders

Sledders is a freeride snowmobile simulator. You ride deep powder on big open backcountry maps. Nobody tells you where to go. You pick the line and find out if the sled makes it.

It rides like a real sled

In deep snow you steer with your body. You lean the sled onto its side and countersteer. That is how you sidehill across a slope or carve between the trees. Lots of real riders play Sledders. Many of them say no game has come this close to a real mountain sled.

Give it a few hours

If you have never ridden, the first hours are hard. You will get stuck in the powder. You will hit trees. Some climbs take tens of attempts before you make it over the top. That is why the top feels so good when you finally get there. Use a controller. You need the sticks to lean and the trigger to feather the throttle. Once it clicks, hit the jumps and go for a backflip.

Ride with your buddies

Meet at the bottom of a steep climb and see who makes it to the top. Proximity voice chat picks up the riders near you. So you can hear your buddy who is stuck halfway up the sidehill. Your friends on PlayStation and Xbox ride the same mountain with you.

Prove who is fastest

Freeride is the heart of Sledders. But every group has that one guy who says he is the fastest. Build a route through the trees and make him prove it. Race it together in one lobby, or send it to him and let him chase your time later. The game also has ready-made races. Ride one and see where your time lands against everyone else.

Pick your sled

Take the sled you ride in real life, or the one you have always wanted. Every sled in the garage is licensed, from deep snow mountain sleds to trail sleds. The retro sleds are there too, if you miss the old machines. Put your own wrap on the sled, the helmet and the suit. You can change the colors all the way down to the handlebars.

Snow all year

When your own sled sits in the garage all summer, the mountain in Sledders is still white. Ride at sunrise or after dark. Pick the weather and the snow before you head out. Turn on fuel, and you have to plan the trip so you make it back to the gas station. Switch to first person and turn off the HUD if you want only the snow and the handlebars.

New rides from the community

Sledders is highly moddable. Players share their own maps and wraps. There are plenty to pick from. You download them straight inside the game. You can also build your own map in the level editor and share it with everyone.

Watch it back

Replay mode records your runs. Watch your best line from any angle. Fly the drone after your friend when he goes over the bars. Then ride against the ghost of your best run.
