SnowRunner 16.1 Patch releases alongside new Crocodile Pack standalone DLC

What’s up, SnowRunners? It’s been a bit since our last article pertaining to the popular terrain simulator known as SnowRunner, but today we have some news directly from the Focus Home Interactive forum. As of Monday (28th February 2022), the latest version of SnowRunner has been released (Version 16.1), and there’s new standalone DLC available as well.

The new DLC includes the Step 33-64 “Crocodile” truck, hence the name of the DLC Pack. This truck comes with three uniquely styled add-ons and is able to “switch between tasks and terrains without a hitch,” according to the release. Those three visually unique add-ons “complete the vintage look,” and can be added or removed as desired.

On top of the new content, there are some important details hidden in the patch notes below. One of the biggest ones to me is the ability for Xbox players to join in on the cross-play capabilities that PC and PlayStation players have had since December. Also in the forum post was a note for modding capabilities coming to the Nintendo Switch when Season 7 drops.

Season 7 itself shouldn’t be too far around the corner, per the roadmap we learned of back in July last year. The Crocodile Pack is available now for purchase as a standalone DLC for $3.99 / £3.29. Year 1 and Year 2 Passes are also available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Check out the full patch notes below.
