SteamWorld Build gets free Christmas update – That’s Gaming

Developer The Station and publisher Thunderful Publishing have announced the first seasonal update for the recently released city-building game SteamWorld Build. The update, called Jingle Bolts, brings a Christmas theme to SteamWorld Build. Check out the trailer for the update below.

The update transforms the game’s western wilderness environment into a snowy winter wonderland. Citizens of your town can be found wearing Santa hats and snowman heads, and the update brings new holiday-related items to build, such as candy cane fences, snowmen, a gift sleigh and, of course, a Christmas tree.

The studio has announced that Jingle Bolts is just the first free seasonal update for SteamWorld Build, and that more such updates are planned for the game for release in 2024.

SteamWorld Build was released earlier this month on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. The game puts players in charge of a mining town that must be built up with infrastructure while also managing a mining operation to find new resources.
