digitec plays «Steep»: Let’s get out our inner slope rowdy
20.12.2018
Translation: Eva Francis
Support: Raphael Knecht
Who said there won’t be White Christmas this year? We’ve brought you the finest of powder snow. At 12 noon, we’re kicking off our livestream with the game of your choice: «Steep».
To end the year on a high, we let you decide which game we should play. The games with most votes – both had 9% in total – were «Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2» and «Steep». I would have liked to build a giant army of tanks, but we went for the easier option and installed «Steep».
Ubisoft’s open world winter sporting game might be two years old, but it looks as inviting as ever. Plus, with the hype surrounding snowboard and ski games having melted away, «Steep» made for a welcome change.
So I put on my virtual long johns, threw myself off various snow-covered peaks together with sports aficionado Raphael Knecht and made an effort not to hit any trees. Or let's say, as few as possible.
Ubisoft provided us with the PC version of «Steep».
That’s what we’re streaming with

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chBeing the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
