SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding Hits Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 29

The PC version already did the work of proving the skiing loop, so the console release is AMATA Games testing whether a Scandinavian-set endless downhill game carries the same pull on Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding Hits Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 29

AMATA Games announced on October 8 that the Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions of SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding arrive on October 29. Studio Gauntlet's downhill skiing game launched on Steam in February 2025 and holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating there. The Switch 2 version costs 1,600 yen with tax, while the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions cost 1,650 yen. A 20 percent launch sale runs for two weeks from release, with the PlayStation Store discount limited to PlayStation Plus members.

Store pages opened the same day as the announcement, so pre-release listings for all three console versions are already public. The porting and publishing are handled by AMATA Games, the indie label run by Amata Corporation, for a game developed by Studio Gauntlet.

The structure is unchanged from the Steam release: an infinitely expanding, auto-generated snowy mountain, high scores built on tricks pulled close to obstacles, a third-person camera, photo mode, a paraglider for gliding, and aurora views. Skins unlock according to skill.
