Players can engage in skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, and wingsuit flying, while competing with other gamers in a race.
However, the upcoming expansion pack of "Steep" will change a little bit of the gameplay.
According to Engadget, "Road to the Olympics" is based on the upcoming Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Gamers will be able to represent their country of choice across different competitions, which include slopestyle, parallel giant slalom, halfpipe, ski cross, and super G.
Aside from increasing the number of competitions that players can join, the open-world element of "Steep" might be restricted in "Road to the Olympics," since the competition will run on certain specifications during the game.
The Sixth Axis reported that the upcoming expansion pack might be one of Ubisoft's techniques to revive an old game that did not perform well in the market.
Giving players of "Steep" the chance to play in a virtual world of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Korea will sure be an edge that will encourage them to return to the game.
"Steep" is available on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Get its first DLC, "Road to the Olympics," this December.
