Squall Riders

Every swell is a ramp

Squall Riders is jet-ski racing on a living ocean. There is no track to follow, only the swell: climb a wave face flat out, launch off the lip and fly. Hit it faster and you fly higher. Dive onto the back of the next wave and the fall turns into raw speed. Slam flat into a face and you lose it all.

Trick it, land it, boost it

Tap for a no-hander or a superman, hold for a backflip, push a direction for a barrel roll, press again for a double Every clean landing charges SURGE. Burn a charge to blast past a rival Perfect slides, perfect gates and big airs charge it too, but come down mid-trick and you are swimming

Three tracks, three storms

Lighthouse Reef: open-sea swell round a lonely lighthouse, from golden hour into a full thunderstorm Harbor Surge: slalom between anchored ships, then the storm swell slamming the breakwater as night falls over the city Arctic Drift: thread a canyon of towering icebergs and launch off ice ramps below a glacier, from the low polar sun through a snow squall to the aurora

The weather builds while you race: the light drops, rain or snow sweeps in and the swell grows, so the second lap never rides like the first.

Six ways to ride

Storm Race: two laps against four rivals. First across the line wins Time Trial: just you, the course and the ghost of your best run Stunt Park: ramps, gaps and rings. Land big, land clean and chain it for 90 seconds Splash Ball: one on one against a rival rider: shove a giant ball into their goal and keep it out of yours Slalom: carve between the buoys. Every missed gate costs you two seconds Big Wave: ride the face of a monster swell and stay on it as long as you dare

Bronze, silver and gold medals in every mode, and 14 challenges to chase.

Build your ski

Every race, round and challenge pays out Spray and XP. Spend it in the garage on 10 paint jobs, 16 colours, underglow, decals and bolt-on parts from spoilers to light bars, plus vests and headgear for your rider. Level up to unlock more. Spray is only ever earned by riding: no microtransactions, no loot boxes.

Five riders, four rivals

Pip the penguin. Kai with her long pink hair. Mara the crocodile on her crocodile ski. Dex the robot with his flying cape. Nova the veteran with the flag snapping off his stern. Pick your rider and race the other four off the same crests.

Built for a controller

Full controller support: racing, menus and the garage all play on an Xbox controller, with Start to pause. Or ride on the keyboard: W, A, S and D or the arrow keys, Space to hop and trick, S to dive, Shift for SURGE.
