«Risky Step» and Crossout Update Plans
The authors of the online game about battles of homemade armored vehicles have published plans for the development of their project until spring. Among other things, Crossout promises fresh brawls and a special Easter event. The Targem Games team has also introduced the «Risky Step» event, which will remain available until February 25. In it, gamers must complete tasks and collect rewards by participating in several modes, two of which have returned to the action game after a break. Let's tell you more about all this.
What's changing in Crossout until the end of winter 2026?

Having just sorted out porting the game to the Steam Deck console, the developers have published a «roadmap» until the end of the first quarter of this year. According to it, in the near future we can expect two battle passes (for the Lunatics and Firestarters), as well as user testing of a modified interface, Easter celebrations with special prizes, and new brawls. Regarding the last point, there is already clarity: the action game has just received the «Risky Step» patch. The main mode is a series of tasks for which you will receive rewards. Quests appear daily, and upon successful completion, you can receive coins, containers, epic production coupons, and Mechanics badges.
The returning brawl «Impulsiveness,» available until the 4th of next month, features only wheeled vehicles (no flying or walking machines), and the battle is fought for points—the first team to score 4000 wins. In «Wheel of Rock,» which can also be considered a well-forgotten old mode, until February 11, players use preset machines with the «Shift» module and the «Rock» mine layer. Here, however, the battle lasts until one of the sides scores 6000 points. «Whirlwind» is a time-based battle: you and your comrades must destroy as many targets as possible within a set time limit.
