- SNØ 1.0.06.00 - Zen Tweaks and Game Engine Update - 12 May 2026
We updated the version of the game engine we use (Unity). SNØ 1.0.06.00 and onwards will be using this newer version. This was done in order to better prepare the game for future updates and developments. Ideally you should not experience any changes in gameplay or performance, except for the ones I snuck in below. These are all the changes in 1.0.06.00 🧘 Lower Zen mode intensity - Zen mode intensity slider now produce more visible results at lower percentages. Previously the Zen mode density multiplier modified max obstacles on each chunk by using CeilToInt (effectively not being able to go below 1 obstacle per world chunk). Now it uses RoundToInt instead, allowing obstacle counts on chunks to actually reach 0. 🪲 Removed some unnecessary debugging code in the Zen mode slow-mo controller* If you experience issues with this build, please let us know in the Steam forums or on our Discor…

- SNØ 1.0.5.21 patch note - 29 March 2026
Bugfix 🎮 Joystick air lean bug - New attempt at making the transition to the Pole Hunt update smooth for previous players. The game should now automatically restore joystick controls back to defaults after updating. ⚠️Updating to 1.0.5.21 will once again restore joystick inputs to default!⚠️ Apologies for all the little patches, but I really want this little "auto-restore-to-default-upon-updating-to-1.0.5.xx" feature to work properly. I've gotten multiple reports from confused players who have updated and found their left/right input suddenly not working. This has also been one of those "one time only" features that are hard to retrigger and fix when they don't work first try. Hopefully this was it! Big thanks to all who have reported this bug. It has been helpful in finding the solution. 🤔 Still having trouble?! 🤔 Please go to the settings->show/edit controller screen and hit Restor…

Fixes 📺 CRT-setting - fixed a bug that caused the CRT setting to not appear in the settings menu Changes 🛷 Sled unlocking - The golden sled used for unlocking the sled can now spawn a little closer to the top of the mountain
- Riding in the 90s 🛷 - 16 October 2025
The Retro Update comes with two features inspired by our childhood. We hope you get to feel some of our nostalgia: Here's what's new: 🛷 Sled - New unlockable ride. Unlock it by finding the golden sled (can be found on any mountain) 📺 CRT-Filter - Experience playing on a CRT screen from the 90's. Toggle it in the settings menu Personal note about the sled: In the 90's and early 00's riding the STIGA Snowracer during winter was one of the most fun things I ever did. Since I'm not much of a downhill skier I have used my childhood memories of sledding as a sort of guiding star to make sure the movement in SNØ feels visceral enough, so it has always been part of SNØ's DNA. I hope you like it. Best Alex
