SnowRunner has officially kicked off its fifth year of content with the launch of Season 17: Repair & Rescue, released on January 27, 2026. This update takes players to the rugged landscapes of Western Asia, specifically the new region of Zurdania, shifting the focus toward reconstruction and sustainable development.

Welcome to Zurdania

Season 17 introduces two sprawling 4km² maps: Zurdan Valley and Landslide Valley. Following a series of devastating weather events and crop failures, players are tasked with breathing life back into this mountainous region.

The mission set is diverse, moving beyond simple hauling to focus on:

Agricultural Rehabilitation: Improving soil fertility and introducing new farming techniques.

Infrastructure & Energy: Building a massive solar farm to ensure the region’s future sustainability.Heritage & Tourism: Renovating ancient historical monasteries and constructing a luxury hotel complex to attract visitors back to the peaks.

New Off-Road Specialists

To tackle the muddy valleys and steep inclines of Zurdania, two new vehicles have been added to the roster:

Voron G-5352 Heavy Duty

A multi-purpose workhorse capable of long-range supply missions and pulling medium trailers.

Jangsu RX600Off-Road

An agile, fuel-efficient support specialist designed for light-to-medium cargo hauling in tight spots.

New Gameplay Mechanic:

A significant addition in Season 17 is the Worksite mission type. Unlike standard contracts, Worksites are non-essential jobs that appear on the map to unlock valuable shortcuts.

How it works: Players must drive into a green “Worksite” zone to see the specific cargo requirements.

The Benefit: Completing these tasks restores road networks and bridges, making previously “impossible” routes accessible for the game’s largest 8-slot trailers.

Availability

Season 17: Repair & Rescue is the first instalment of the Year 5 Pass. It is available now as a standalone purchase or as part of the pass on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Note: Owners of the Year 5 Pass also receive the exclusive Pathfinders Vinyl Wrap Pack, which includes new skins for the KHAN Lo4F, Azov 64131, KOLOB 74941, and ANK MK38.
