Besides the Extreme Pack DLC, there will be a new Game Update 1.10 with a server maintenance coming on June 26, which should add new features and also fix bugs. Monday is the day to go, as the server maintenance will be performed on all platforms in order to apply the new Steep Patch 1.10.

Thanks to this patch, players will be able to play in free roaming when servers are offline, while branded events are now permanently available in the mountain. After listening to the community, the devs decided to change the default keybinding for the parachute on gamepads: RB/R1 while PC users will get the chance to disable the Gamepad without disconnecting it, by receiving a new option “Enable Gamepad” in the options menu.

The game needs a lot of bug fixing in order to apply any new content, so Ubisoft has finally done that too. A lot of bugs are going to be fixed with the Monday’s patch, which should make Steep more resistant to new issues after the DLC goes live.

The Extreme Pack DLC will bring new rewards in the game, stickers. These rewards will be available for free on the Ubisoft Club page at the same time the Extreme Pack DLC applies. The Extreme Pack DLC should be available on all platforms on June 27 after 6 PM CEST / 12 PM EDT / 9 AM PDT.

Sadly, just like many other games, Steep is just another “dead game”. Even if the game gets 10 more content updates in future, it will still remain the same. It’s just how seasonal games work.

Below you can see the full changelog of the new patch.
