Steep – How an Open World Changes Action Sports

Steep was the surprise announcement at this year’s Ubisoft E3 press conference. The open-world take on action sports brings you to the tops of the very best slopes in the Alps and encourages you to ride down or explore them anyway you want, whether it’s by snowboarding, skiing, wing suit flying, paragliding, or just by walking. But how does all of this actually work in Steep? We had the chance to go hands-on with the game at E3 2016 and came away with a better grasp of just how much freedom you’ll have. Find out more in the video below:

Steep is scheduled for release in December for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For more on the game, check out our announcement story:
