About SSX (series)

SSX is EA Sports' long-running snowboarding series, known for high-speed downhill racing, gravity-defying tricks, and an over-the-top arcade feel. Starting in 2000, the series combined racing with trick contests across huge, stylized mountains, and it became famous for its sense of speed and outrageous course design — rails, halfpipes, and monster jumps that send riders soaring above the peaks. Later entries added the Tricky system, which lets you chain insane combos, and the celebrated SSX 3, often cited by fans as a standout snowboarding game, with an open mountain you can ride from peak to base continuously. The 2012 reboot added survival-style descents through deadly terrain. For fans of extreme sports games, the series remains the benchmark for snowboarding games, blending accessible controls with deep trick mechanics.
