Shredders - Gameplay and Features

Shredders is a unique game inspired by snowboarding movies and "amped up" games from the original Xbox. Better still, the game was designed by riders for riders, making it a project "fed by passion."

What is Shredders about?

The game centres around you and your friend Scotty making "goofball snowboarding videos" at the Frozen Wood resort. You are then approached by a brand ambassador named Lisa, who makes an offer for some sponsored clips.

Lisa then gives you a glimpse into a whole new snowboarding world, introducing you to pro riders, snowmobiles and showing you all the epic spots to hit. You will also have a chance to meet some of the pros, learn moves, and compete against them in an invitational.

What are the Shredders' features?

The game boasts a massive open world that is hand-sculptured from top to bottom. Players can enjoy the game's exceptional scenery, ranging from parks and urban environments to beautiful mountaintops. "This open world is waiting to be shredded."

"Shredders is for powder fanatics and park rats, for street snowboarders and backcountry explorers. Mastering the diverse terrain is challenging but o so satisfying."

Shredders encourages players to embrace and refine their unique style, noting, "Every move feels amazing from gorgeous spins with Jamie Anderson, to lawn darts with Sebbe De Buck, and knuckle huck tricks with Marcus Kleveland."
