How to make a custom Sledders map, two ways.
Build a level by hand in the game's Level Editor, or turn a real place into one in a few clicks. Both end up on mod.io, where players on PC, Xbox and PS5 can ride them.
There are two ways to make your own Sledders map. Build it by hand in the Sledders Level Editor on PC and upload it to mod.io, or draw a box over a real place in the YourSledMaps builder and get it built for you as a mod.io level. Either way, players on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PS5 can ride it once it is approved for their console.
Build it by hand in the Sledders Level Editor
Sledders ships with a Level Editor on PC. You shape the terrain, place the trees and set up the level yourself, then upload it through mod.io so everyone can ride it.
- Open the editor on PC. Start Sledders on Steam and open CONTENT CREATION in the main menu.
- Build your level. Shape the ground and set up the level with the editor's tools. Big levels take time, so save often.
- Upload it to mod.io. Publish from the editor with your mod.io account. The level goes live on mod.io's Sledders page.
- Wait for console approval. PC players can ride it right away. On Xbox and PS5 it shows up once Hanki Games, the studio behind Sledders, approves its console build.
Best for: a freeride park, jump lines, a layout that doesn't exist anywhere, or when you enjoy the building as much as the riding.
Turn a real place into a Sledders map
If the map you want is a real place, your home trail, a bowl you've ridden or a mountain on your bucket list, you don't need to sculpt it. YourSledMaps builds it from real data:
- Search the place in the builder: a mountain, a lake, a town or coordinates.
- Draw a box over it, up to about 8 × 8 km, the biggest terrain Sledders supports.
- Name it and pay. The price depends on the size and shows before you pay.
- Ride it. We build the real terrain, forest, rivers and trails, publish the level on mod.io credited to you, and email you the link. Most maps are ready the same evening.
Works from any browser, your phone included, so console players can make one too. The full walkthrough, with tips on picking a good area: turn a real place into a Sledders map.

| Time | An evening to weeks | Usually the same evening |
| Cost | Free with the game | Priced by size, shown before you pay |
| Where it goes | mod.io, under your account | mod.io, credited to you |
Many riders do both: start from a real place, then build fantasy parks by hand. Either way, the level rides in cross-play, and your crew gets it by subscribing on mod.io (how to get a level in game).

Making a map,
quick answers.
Consoles, cost, real places and sharing.
Not by hand: the Sledders Level Editor is on PC only. You can still order a real-place map from any browser, your phone included, and ride it on Xbox or PS5 once Hanki Games approves its console build.
The Level Editor comes with Sledders on PC, so building by hand costs only your time. A YourSledMaps level is priced by size, and the price shows before you pay. Riding any level from mod.io is free.
Yes. Draw a box over the place in the YourSledMaps builder and we build its real terrain, forest, rivers and trails into a Sledders level. You can also try to sculpt a real place by hand in the Level Editor, which takes much longer.
By hand, from an evening to weeks, depending on the level. A YourSledMaps build usually takes under an hour, then mod.io's build bot prepares the game files: about 10 minutes for most maps, under an hour for 9 in 10.
Send them the level's mod.io link. Each friend subscribes, then one of you hosts a multiplayer session on the level and the others join, in cross-play between PC, Xbox and PS5.
Make your real place rideable
Draw a box over any real mountain, trail or lake. We build it into a Sledders level on mod.io, credited to you.
