We've been waiting on it a while, and now we've finally got a date for Shredders on Xbox Game Pass, as the snowboarding title has been confirmed to arrive on March 17, 2022. Plus, it's an Xbox console launch exclusive!
The game is described as "a love letter to snowboarding", featuring a huge unlockable open world with diverse locations, a range of professional riders and real snowboarding equipment, "epic" missions, online multiplayer and much more.
Shredders takes inspiration from the classic Amped games on the original Xbox (along with a bunch of snowboarding films), and it looks like it's shaping up to be a great addition when it arrives on Game Pass in just a couple of weeks.
Just keep in mind that there's no Xbox One release for this one — it's Series X, Series S and PC only.
You and your pal are making goofball snowboarding videos at the Frozen Wood resort when brand ambassador Lisa makes an offer for a couple of sponsored videos. She gives you a glimpse of a whole new world of snowboarding, professional riders, snowmobiles, and epic features to shred. An invitational has attracted a whole bunch of pro-riders to the area, and with Lisa’s help you have a chance to meet some of them, learn a bunch of their moves, and possibly even get a chance to join them in the kick ass invitational!
Looking forward to trying Shredders on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know down in the comments below.

The bumper month of March continues. I was beginning to fear the lack of confirmed release date may cause it to slip again. Thankfully that's not the case.
I'm actually looking forward to it this. Also with the winter Olympics kids liked watching the snowboard events and we got them a lesson as well. I'll let them give it a go as well and see how they like it
Isn't that basically just Steep with less stuff for more money?
@NEStalgia I’m getting the feeling that this might be a more serious take on the genre.
Really looking forward to this, we could desperately use a decent snowboarding game. Riders Republic was okay but lacking in focus.
@NEStalgia
When Steep launched you could not even grind while snowboarding... This gameplay is going to be much more bold and in my opinion way more fun than Steep.
And what do you mean by "for more money"?
Shredders is a Game Pass game... Steep did not drop into Game Pass until years after it was released.
I've not really played a snowboard game since 1080° Snowboarding on the N64 so maybe I'll give this a go
@Stoned_Patrol IDK about launch, but when I played it Steep did. But, Steep always felt weird and floaty like you only had partial control of what's going on. Hopefully this controls better, but in the videos it looks basically the same. And, yeah, if we're comparing game pass versus not price doesn't factor in, I just meant the actual sale price.
Hopefully it controls better than it looks. We'll see.
I'm still hoping for a REAL quality alpine skiing game like the old RTL Sports games back in the day on PC. They handled so well, and really had the right feel. Sadly I've seen nothing like it in the past 15 years.
@NEStalgia Do you have Riders Republic? It is pretty much a new upgraded version of Steep. The huge 60+ person races are where it is at!
@Stoned_Patrol I don't have it yet, I figured it's Ubisoft, it'll be cheap soon enough, but it definitely did look like an upgraded Steep, which I enjoyed so I figure I'll get it sooner or later
