In Xtreme Sports, players will have the opportunity to skirt down the side of mountain vistas strapped into a snowboard, surf through the air strapped to a snowboard, barrel over rocky trails on an ATV, hurtle off bridges with only a bungee cord strapped to their boots, hang-glide through canyons and crevices, and race on a mountain bike.
Unlike other multi-sport games, which often offer each event as a separate component, Xtreme Sports utilizes multi-event tracks, where players might snowboard down the side of a mountain and then hop on an ATV that will take them to a cliff which they will sail off of on a hang-glider. There are 12 different tracks to choose from, each offering a different order in which the various events take place, some incorporating each of the different sports. These tracks are situated in environments that seek to emulate real life locations, such as the Himalayan Mountains, Maui and Kilimanjaro.
