The popular off-road simulation game SnowRunner has reached a turning point for Mac users. While the game remains playable on macOS, it will no longer receive new updates, expansions, or downloadable content. This change quietly marks the end of active development for the Mac version, even as the title continues to attract new buyers.
SnowRunner challenges players to haul cargo through mud, snow, and harsh terrain using heavy-duty vehicles. The game focuses on realistic physics and careful route planning rather than fast-paced racing. For years, it built a loyal following across platforms, including macOS.
How the Decision Was Confirmed
The confirmation came through updated SnowRunner documentation from Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment in late 2025. Rather than issuing a public announcement, the developers added new language under platform availability notes. These updates clarified that while Mac and Nintendo Switch versions still count as supported, neither platform will receive future updates, new seasons, or DLC.
The final update for macOS shipped in November 2025. Since then, development for the platform has effectively stopped.
What Mac Players Can Expect Now
Mac users can still access all previously released content, including vehicles and maps. Multiplayer also remains active, although Mac players can only join sessions with other Mac and Nintendo Switch users. However, the lack of future patches means bug fixes, balance tweaks, and performance improvements have ended.
As a result, any future macOS changes could create compatibility issues that developers will not address. Over time, this could affect stability, especially as Apple introduces new system updates.
Availability Remains Despite No Updates
Despite the end of development, SnowRunner remains on sale through the Mac App Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The game requires macOS Sonoma or later, about 40 GB of storage, and runs best on Apple Silicon Macs.
For now, Mac players can still enjoy the full experience as it exists today. However, long-term support depends entirely on Apple maintaining backward compatibility rather than ongoing developer involvement.
A Quiet Goodbye for Mac Support
Although SnowRunner’s Mac journey is not officially over, its future is frozen in place. For dedicated players, the road ahead looks stable—but it no longer leads anywhere new.
