Chris Hanney, the Narritive Director of the title, spoke about the inspiration behind the game on Xbox Wire:
“While developing Shredders, we took a lot of inspiration from a whole bunch of awesome snowboarding films, the Amped games from the original Xbox (still so good!), and our snowboarding heroes on Instagram. In many ways, Shredders is a project fed by passion and we feel it is built to shine on Series X|S.”

“In Shredders you’ll break into the snowboarding event of the year to pull off one of the most insane tricks imaginable, all for the hope of scoring a wildcard entry to an exclusive invitational. To prove you’re up to the challenge, master the art of park riding, backcountry, rails and massive kickers and earn your place in the world of snowboarding.”
