AMATA Games will release SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 on October 28, 2026. The announcement on Wednesday, October 7, was reported by Gematsu. The game, from Norway's Studio Gauntlet, has been on PC via Steam since February 17, 2025.
On the publisher's site, the Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding are listed at 13.99, with a wishlist page. AMATA K.K. describes the title as an endless downhill game with a simple design, focused on the feeling of gliding through snow.
What the game offers
- Procedurally generated mountains that can be shared by seed
- Three styles: skis, snowboard and sit-ski
- ZEN mode, with no score, just the descent
- Global and friends leaderboards, first-person, third-person and drone cameras, plus photo mode
Studio Gauntlet says SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding was made by two developers in Norway, for short sessions, with direct controls and instant action. AMATA's page lists single-player only and an IARC 3+ rating. There is no online multiplayer. The creators also list what the game does not include: groomed trails and long load times.
Why it matters
This is not a brand-new release. It is the console arrival of a PC game that already exists, now with a date and a storefront on Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series. Gematsu points to a console announcement trailer in English and Japanese. The Steam page of the original version remains the reference for the PC game.
