Steep

StreamerHouse hit 798 viewers in 2016 for Steep, Ubisoft Annecy's open-world winter sports game. The December 2016 launch streams explored the Alps via snowboard, skis, wingsuit, and paraglider, appreciating the gorgeous mountain vistas and physics-based tricks. The house leaned into the chill exploration vibe—no guns, no zombies, just carving powder and landing backflips. While Steep never reached SSX's arcade heights or Skate's cultural impact, it carved out a niche for players wanting realistic winter sports in a massive open world. The year was 2016, and StreamerHouse documented a rare sports game that prioritized zen moments over competitive grinding, even if the audience eventually moved on to more action-packed titles.
