Winter games online for snow season
Snow games come back every December, and some are classics for a reason. These are the best ones to play this winter, sorted by how they feel: fast downhill runs, bigger mountains to share with friends, and games about surviving the cold.
Downhill and fast
- Alto's Adventure (Snowman, 2015). The mobile snowboard classic. One tap to jump, hold to flip, and a sunset that never gets old. Alto's Odyssey (2018) is the desert sequel.
- Grand Mountain Adventure 2 (Toppluva, 2025). Open-world skiing and snowboarding on phones, out on iOS and Android since February 18, 2025. Lifts, slopes and side challenges.
- Snow Rider 3D. A simple web sled game. Steer between trees and snowmen and see how far you get.
- SSX. EA's arcade snowboard series from 2000 on. Huge tricks, unrealistic mountains, still the reference for snowboard games.
Bigger mountains, with friends
Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders by Megagon Industries launched in January 2025 for PC and Xbox, and a PS5 version followed in December 2025. It plays with 2 to 8 players, with co-op and competitive modes: ride down together, or race to the bottom. It is the best pick for a group that wants snow without a tournament.
On phones, the group options are thinner. Short rounds where everyone races the same slope work better than open worlds.
