Are you new to Steep or would you like to improve your highest scores? Practice makes perfect!

One of our most experienced players, Mstifye, has personally selected a few challenges that can bring you up to expert level in no time. You can find these challenges by exploring Steep’s open world and discovering new Drop Zones.


Learning the ropes

Mstifye recommends trying the Bargy Snowpark challenge in the Alps for ski / snowboard fans. You’ll find it in the Ponte Percée region.

Coordinates: 4813 S - 345 E

“This is the challenge where I perfected my jumps and understood how the jump system in STEEP worked. I understood how to prepare for jumps and how to execute them.”

Most of the challenges with blue guidelines are a good starting point for practicing your ski and snowboarding skills. During a challenge, hold "_" to crouch and prepare for a jump, then release it near the top of the jump to reach maximum height. The blue guidelines on ramps in challenges like Bargy and Jumps clearly mark the best spot to pop your tricks- a perfect way to practice!


Upping the ante

After you feel comfortable with the guidelines, it’s time to practice what you’ve learned on some more advanced challenges without guidance or restrictions. Glacier Hurdles in Aiguille Verte is a fan-favorite Freerider challenge in the Alps, featuring a long track with smooth transfers, creative lines, and massive jumps. Mstifye also recommends the Space Jump in the Matterhorn for courageous players who crave more airtime. “This is one of the biggest drops in the game, this challenge will give you plenty of time in the air to practice spins and your most impressive flips. Landing it is a different story though.”


Grab your skis and snowboards and try out these challenges for yourself! While you’re at it, why not share your clips using the hashtag #SteepGame, or send us your best #SteepPhotoMode images?

See you on the slopes,

In our previous update we had made available all playlists at the same time in the PvP multiplayer mode. Today we’ll introduce another change.


During this weekend, starting now, you will be able to play 3 brand new playlists. Each one of them includes:

• A score race
  
  • Win by doing the maximum amount of points by performing tricks
• A time race
  
  • Be the 1st to reach the finish line
• A Wingsuit proximity challenge or a Rocket Wingsuit race

After the weekend, on Monday, all previous 8 playlists will be available, in addition to a new playlist called "Born to Race".


See you next week with more PvP Beta news. Keep sharing your feedback!

Hello Riders!

If you’re new to the game, allow us to welcome you to this awesome community! We’re sure it won’t take long for you to feel right at home.

Steep is a big game – there is plenty to see and do, and the game has only grown since it first released in 2016. We can appreciate that it may be tough for newcomers to decide where to start. One of your first decisions will be the sport: skis, snowboard, wingsuit or paraglider?

On top of that, you’ll be wondering where you can go and what you can do across the two regions available in the base game: the Alps and Alaska. Decisions, decisions…

We would like to help you with that. So every second Tuesday for the next two months, we and our friends in the community will give you some pointers on what to do when you first hop into the wintery world of Steep.

For this first article, we have asked members of our Yeti Society – some of our most devoted community members – to highlight and pinpoint three of the best spots for new riders to execute some BIG jumps. You can use the coordinates provided to find the location in the mountain view.

For newcomers, the easiest way to reach a location will be by rocket wingsuit, but when you reach level 25, you will have an infinite supply of helicopter tickets to fast-travel anywhere you want!

The first location is in the Alps, recommended by vi77ain.



Coordinates: 2780N - 3800E

Vi77ain had this to say: “Furi is a small church village in the Aoste region, but it holds big secrets. It has one of the only church spires you can jump through but it won't let you do it so easily. Also nearby are side hits, buildings, logs and tractors to play around with. There is even a bust of the Mother Mary who watches and protects this village. I spent an entire day here filming a video, good fun for those who can uncover its charms.”


This next recommendation, located in Alaska, comes courtesy of Mstifye.

Coordinates: 2991N - 3796E

So why did Mstifye go for this spot? Because it’s “a huge Alaskan Jump, but from the comfort of a ramp to launch you off precisely. The ramp also helps control which direction you want to land much easier than a cliff jump! Some might remember this jump from the ending of the challenge ‘Silverfall II’. Since then, this has remained one of the most exhilarating jumps that I find myself running back to over and over again! Not the biggest jump in Steep, but don't let it fool you, it'll knock your snow boots off!”


Our third recommendation is a real toughie to pull off, but luckily we have a demonstration from steeppeeps on Instagram to prove that it is possible!


 
Coordinates: 3922S - 5974W

“Here is a STYLED Misty 5 safety through an abandoned complex in the Alps.” Steeppeeps does admit: “This spot is very difficult to land a trick, but that's what makes it incredibly fun. Send in your clips of the tricks you get through this complex!”

We would certainly love to see more of you guys pulling off this impressive stunt! So please share your footage with us using the hashtag #SteepGame! Or why not send us your best screenshots in #SteepPhotoMode?


Next week, we and the Yeti Society will discuss our favourite challenges for newcomers. We’ll see you there!

In Monday's title update, we increased the global amount of XP you get while playing the PvP mode. Now we are going to take a look at how many points you can actually get and under what circumstances.

It’s worth noting that the amount of your DNF (Did Not Finish) runs have a big impact on the experience points you get. Even just by limiting your DNFs, you can increase your rewards by a big margin; completing all challenges is a very good way to earn more rewards.

• 2nd – 400 xp

Hi everyone,
Since the start of the PvP beta over one month ago, we have seen a lot of feedback from you and today we want to talk about your most discussed suggestions.

1. Map Vote
Having the option to influence what playlist you will play is something a lot of you have requested. We can confirm we are working on implementing this feature and we’ll share more information about it in the near future.

2. Alaska and new playlists challenges
In this phase of the beta, all of the challenges available in PvP are based in the Alps. We plan to add new playlists in Alaska in the coming months. In January we’ll also have a couple more playlists in the Alps with brand new challenges not currently available in the game.

3. Score improvements
We are constantly working on improving the PvP score system. We already implemented some changes on the PC version last week and we’ll keep testing before transferring them to consoles. Next week we’ll also tweak how many experience points you get by taking part in the PvP. We’ll share more details on this next Thursday.
