Best of all, many of them will actually let fans start downloading/playing the game on Monday night. Like most modern games, from big publishers, Steep will be available for purchase on the PlayStation Network, Steam, Uplay, Xbox Live and a variety of other digital storefronts. There doesn't appear to be any big midnight launch events for Steep slated for Thursday night - which isn’t shocking, given its near obscurity compared to likes of Call of Duty, Destiny or Madden - but that doesn’t mean fans of Ubisoft’s first open-world winter sports game have to wait until business resumes on Friday to snag a copy. Thankfully, digital distributors are stepping in to make the game available almost as quickly as we’d expect from traditional brick and mortar retailers.

But many gamers are still trying to figure out the exact moment they’ll be able to claim a copy of Steep on PS4, Xbox One and/or PC.

We’re less than 24 hours away from the debut of Steep, the new extreme winter sports game from Ubisoft Annecy and its parent company.
