SSX is a 2012 snowboarding video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. Released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2012, it is a reboot of the SSX series and the sixth installment overall. The game was revealed at the Spike Video Game Awards in 2010 under the working title SSX: Deadly Descents, the game's trailer appeared to show a much darker direction to the series than previous entries, though later footage revealed a return to a lighter tone. SSX includes the use of real locations, rather than the fictional courses of past games.
The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised the motivation behind its development.
