Snow
The upcoming open-world winter sports game Snow has just entered its open beta phase. Anyone can now download the beta for free on PC through Steam.
The beta features free-roam multiplayer skiing as well as competitive events, leaderboards, and enhanced graphics. The game’s expanded mountain now has over 20 areas to discover, while snowboarding and snowmobiling are still in development.
The beta also includes a number of free-to-play elements, such as the option to purchase cosmetic items from many name brands or pay for access to premium events. These premium events will unlock exclusive rewards that won’t be available in the game’s store.
Snow is expected to launch as a free-to-play game for PC and PS4 at some point later this year. Support for Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR is also in development.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
