SHREDDERS FAQ

About

  • Shredders is a video game. A love letter to snowboarding, Shredders takes inspiration from a lot of awesome snowboarding movies, the Amped games from the original Xbox and the snowboarding heroes on Instagram. Shredders is a passion project for riders, by riders.

  • The gameplay is a balance between arcade and simulation, a bit like the Skate series.

  • Shredders is available on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Steam.

    → Play on Xbox
    → Play on PS5
    → Play on Steam

  • We have no plans to develop a version for Xbox One or PS4, as these consoles are below the specs we need for Shredders. Previously, Shredders was accessible on Xbox One through Game Pass Ultimate via Xbox Cloud Gaming, but this option is no longer available.

  • Yes! A physical PS5 edition is available in collaboration with Microids. This version includes the 540INDY Supporter Pack and THE YARD Board Pack. You can find it at your favorite game store or online retailer.

    The PS5 Limited Run edition from early 2023 — which included the Original Soundtrack by Jennifur and a hand-numbered Certificate of Authenticity — is now fully sold out.

Pros & Brands

Multiplayer

  • Absolutely! Shredders automatically connects you to a multiplayer session in the area where you are riding. This means that every other rider you see is a real person playing (anywhere in the world). You can ride with friends or invite players to your private session with room codes.

    Multiplayer is enabled by default on PC. On Xbox and PlayStation, you need an Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus subscription.

  • Yes, Shredders supports public play between all platforms. You can also create a private session from the multiplayer menu and invite friends from any platform by sharing your unique room code.

    You can disable cross-play in the settings.

  • Shredders constantly launches Hotspots: goto locations with competitive challenges that are synced globally and cross-platform.

Modding

  • We are focusing first on delivering the best snowboarding experience. While we don’t officially support mods (yet), we are keen to see where the community will take this. You can find one of the larger mod Discords here.

  • We are looking into options to bring user-generated maps to consoles, but it would require a lot of extra work (moderation, optimization, legal). We still plan to add new original content to the game in the future, but with a limited team, budget, and multiplatform parity, we have to prioritize.

Development

  • Currently, we don’t have a public timeline for future updates. But we’re not done!

  • We’ve actually experimented a bit with skiing, and our system is flexible enough to handle it in an interesting way. If budget and timing allow, a future DLC could explore freestyle skiing — but no promises at this point.

  • We’re open to ideas and feedback. You’ll have a bigger chance of being heard if you’re constructive and polite. shredders@i-illusions.com

  • You bet it does!

  • Yes, you can. Open the Character editor and scroll to Bindings. You can switch between Regular and Goofy with the Y-button.

  • Fire up the drone, hold the L1/LB-button, and use the D-pad to move the sun around. 🌞

  • Sprinkled around the world of Shredders are a whole bunch of Gaps, which when jumped over, will give you new gear depending on whether you cleared the gap, and what score you got while doing so.

    — White flag: gap has not been cleared yet
    — Green flag: gap was cleared with 500 points or more, but less than 1.000
    — Red flag: gap was cleared with 1.000 points or more, but less than 2.500
    — Black flag: gap was cleared with 2.500 points or more

    Only black-flagged gaps count for the achievements ‘Mind the Gap’ and ‘Mind (all) the Gaps’.

  • You can find tutorials on our YouTube channel. Many shredders also share their knowledge on the Shredders Discord.

Bugs & Errors

  • If the game shows a grey screen, gets stuck loading, or crashes on startup, this is usually caused by third-party software interfering with the game at launch.

    Most common causes

    — Outdated or leftover mod loaders (e.g. MelonLoader).

    — Anti-cheat or kernel-level software (e.g. Riot Vanguard).

    — Other tools that inject, hook, or modify games at runtime.

    What to try

    1. Make sure you’re using the latest version of the game.

    2. Verify your game files (Steam / Xbox PC).

    3. Remove all mods and mod managers.

    If you ever installed MelonLoader, manually delete the following from your Shredders install folder:

    • MelonLoader folder

    • dobby.dll

    • notice.txt

    • version.dll

    4. Temporarily disable third-party background software (anti-cheat tools, overlays, injectors) and try launching the game again.
