Really good news. Have to say I've been tempted to pick it up. Love the chillness of games like American Truck Simulator so this might be up my alley too.

Excellent, it's a great game.

I saw some let's play videos, looks stressful lol good to watch tho haha
Surprisingly, the game is very chill and relaxing. You would think having a massive truck completely stuck in a middle of nowhere would be stressful, but it's slow, methodical approach somehow makes it zen-like experience.

Was it this game series or some other mud-physics game that had some sort of controversy about the developers?

This game is currently 4th on PSN in the ongoing bestsellers list. Damn. I was wondering if there was a glitch but I guess it's just a great selling game!

Is this game like Spintires and Mudrunner? Got Spintires but haven't started playing it yet. Is it as good?

It was this series, yes. This article is badly sourced, but seems to be correct: https://www.shacknews.com/article/101026/the-dark-souls-of-off-roading-returns-with-mudrunner

I haven't played MudRunner myself, but people in the SnowRunner OT who have say it's much better.

I'm actually super hyped for this and Mudrunner was amazing, but I'm holding off a purchase until my enthusiasm for Animal Crossing dies down a bit. Might be a while...

Great Game... Super chill vibe that still elicits an expletive almost every other minute, yet somehow isn't controller-throwing-ly frustrating.

Great. It's an amazing game and a clear step up from the other games in the series. Deserved!

I'll be adding a +1 sale before the current Epic sale ends. Looks a great game and exactly the type of thing I seem to enjoy playing nowadays.

I'm very tempted because I love physics-based games, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle how frustrating it seems to be at some points.

Just noticed that MudRunner is on PS Now so will check that out later. The Death Stranding inspired advert for SnowRunner definitely had me intrigued but my game spending for the next couple of months is of TLOU2 and Ghost.

Watched the review from ACG and after Death Stranding introduced me to the genre, I am very interested in this one. Looks zen as fuck, next-gen tech will be extremely beneficial for this type of game

Playing with friends is an absolute fucking blast i love the game. Even when we get stuck and it gets frustrating we are constantly having fun.

Well deserved.

This does seems like more of a niche title, and I'm kind of surprised it's doing so well.

Not that it's not deserving, of course, I love the hell out of it myself, I'm just surprised at the number of people getting into it, I can only assume a lot of them have never played something like this before, especially on consoles. The more the merrier!
