Summary
Steep: X Games Gold Edition contains more winter sports action than you could shake an avalanche kit at - the Steep base game, year one season pass and X Games Pass are all packed right into this one small box!
Steep itself incorporates snowboarding, skiing, wingsuit flying and paragliding. Heck, you can even walk if you fancy slowing things down and taking in the scenery.
It wasn't Ubisoft's first crack at snowboarding. A good run with the Shaun White franchise springs to mind. In the case of Steep, however, Ubisoft took that experience and married it to the thing it arguably does best - creating huge open worlds for players to explore. There are massive environments in Alaska and Europe for players to explore however they see fit. The game has been created to really give you as many ways as possible to play, with a 'sports wheel' that can be opened to enable you to transition between activities on the fly. So if you're skiing but you see a cliff ahead that really deserves to be flown from, you can transition to paragliding in one smooth moment. In this way you can explore the mountains, discovering hidden spots and fresh lines.
Of course, you're not just left to wander at random - there are specific challenges set for each sport, including the likes of Big Air, Proximity Flying, or Forest Slaloms.
You can easily share all this with your mates, too. Seamless multiplayer allows you to meet others while you play, and you can challenge friends to beat your personal records, scores and lines. If you pull off something amazing, you can even create and share videos of your most awesome lines!
With the year one season pass you get the addition of four new sports - rocket wings, speed ride, sledging and base jumping - as well as new challenges and customisation items and 10,000 Steep credits.
Then the new X Games pass ramps things up even further with competitive X Games challenges in Alaska, '90s DLC so you can shred like it's 1999 and a host of new Rocket Wings DLC!
