New Tricks Unveiled for Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders

Okay, so here’s the scoop and trust me, it’s a big one if you’re into cold, frosty adventures. Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders just dropped this beast of an update. Imagine stuff like Trick Mode and Free Ride Mode making a comeback. I’m stoked, aren’t you? And a ton of new accessibility features too!

Now, let’s backtrack for a sec. In January, they kicked off the skiing season with Xbox Game Pass, and over a million folks have already hit those snowy hills. Pretty wild, right? But Megagon Industries? Nope, they didn’t just sit back and chill. Oh no. They pumped out this Freestyle update today, tossing in more than 100 challenges. Like, seriously? That’s epic.

Anyway, so you’ve got new stuff to conquer in Trick Mode. Ride with flair, rack up points, and do those fancy flips, spins, and grabs. But yeah, here’s the kicker—you’ll need to see the mountains totally differently. Like, your top speed strategy might help you zip around, but isn’t necessarily gonna rocket you up the leaderboard.

And oh, the Free Ride Mode is back. If you’re into speedrunning, this is your jam. Forget checkpoints—just you and the mountain. It’s a bit nerve-wracking ‘cause every crash sends you back to the start. But hey, thrill seekers gotta seek, right?

Both modes have leaderboards and fresh achievements. Plus, you can reach the top player levels without doing multiplayer. I guess they heard the community loud and clear on that one.

Then there’s a heap of new accessibility tweaks. You can set auto-brake or auto-accelerate, play with just one trigger, toggle instead of holding buttons. Trust me, your cramped fingers will thank you. And button remapping? Yes, please. Even playing with mouse and keyboard is on the table now.

They’re hoping more folks will jump into the game after this Freestyle update. And honestly, I think they might’ve nailed it. They want to see your trick videos and free-ride runs, so go wild!

Anyway, Daniel and the whole Megagon crew are buzzing to see what you throw down. Ready to hit the slopes? Let’s roll—or should I say—slide?

There ya go. What an exciting time to be a gamer, eh?
