Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders Unveils Exciting New Features

Ah, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, right? So, there’s this big update that just dropped, and it’s kind of a big deal—like really, a big deal. I mean, we’re talking game-changing stuff. Anyway, back in January, a ton of folks hit the slopes when it launched on Xbox Game Pass. It was like a million riders or something. Not that I’m counting. Just sounds like a lot. Megagon Industries is shaking things up again with this new Freestyle update—it’s packed with over 100 challenges. And I’m here for it.

So, Trick Mode. Whoa. Imagine zooming down the mountain, doing flips, spins, grabs. It’s not just about speed anymore, you know? Gotta think differently, like maybe your usual speedrun path isn’t the leader in the clubhouse anymore. And I’m just throwing this out, but seeing that in action? Total adrenaline rush. If I were to attempt it, might end up in a snowbank. Well, maybe. Okay—where was I again?

Oh, right, Free Ride Mode is making a comeback! This was my old fave from the downhill days. There’s something about throwing caution to the wind and just, like, barreling down without checkpoints that’s wildly thrilling. But hey, it’s a bit risky—one crash, and it’s back to square one. But isn’t that what makes it fun? And yeah, leaderboards—they’re still here, so good luck topping that. Maybe I’ll lurk and watch from the sidelines.

And shoutout to them for listening to what people actually want! You used to have to jump into multiplayer to hit the highest player level, but not anymore. Kind of nice, right? Some days you just want to chill solo.

Oh, and accessibility! They’ve really stepped it up. You can now auto-brake—because, honestly, who hasn’t wished for that on icy roads?—and even play with just one trigger. Reassign buttons however you like, maybe throw a mouse into the mix? Why not.

Megagon hopes this update opens doors for more folks to enjoy the chaos, I mean, joy of the Lonely Mountains. And I’ve got fingers crossed for some epic trickshot videos—can’t wait to see what people come up with. Yeah, it’s wild times ahead for sure. So get out there, carve some paths, and maybe, just maybe, don’t crash into too many trees.

Okay, I’m done. Catch you on the slopes!
