changedHello Drivers!Before anything else, we want to thank everyone who helped us over the past few months . Former and current Alpha Testers, current and former Beta Testers, and all of you active on Discord. Special shoutout to Ryan, our QA, for reporting 175 bugs on his own. Others did an amazing job too, but he definitely won the marathon. Some might even say it’s his fault the update took longer, but we’ll let you be the judge haha.

addedTHE UPDATE WILL RELEASE ON MARCH 24, 2026You’ve already seen some of the new features, like suspension customization and colors. But beyond that, we’ve also worked extensively on bug fixing and performance improvements .

fixedTHE UPDATE WILL RELEASE ON MARCH 24, 2026We want to stay transparent : while we’ve fixed major issues such as memory leaks and significantly improved multiplayer performance, desynchronization is not fully resolved yet . Some POIs are still more demanding than others, even though they’ve been improved as well.

changedTHE UPDATE WILL RELEASE ON MARCH 24, 2026During testing, we reached a stable 100 FPS with 3 players. That said, this doesn’t mean every setup will achieve the same results . Previously, we were closer to 40–60 FPS on our end, so this is still a strong improvement.

THE UPDATE WILL RELEASE ON MARCH 24, 2026

What was initially planned as a one-month update turned into the biggest and most ambitious update we’ve made so far.

You’ve already seen some of the new features, like suspension customization and colors. But beyond that, we’ve also worked extensively on bug fixing and performance improvements.

We want to stay transparent: while we’ve fixed major issues such as memory leaks and significantly improved multiplayer performance, desynchronization is not fully resolved yet. Some POIs are still more demanding than others, even though they’ve been improved as well.

During testing, we reached a stable 100 FPS with 3 players. That said, this doesn’t mean every setup will achieve the same results. Previously, we were closer to 40–60 FPS on our end, so this is still a strong improvement.

Overall, we’re finally satisfied with the current state of the game. There’s still work ahead, and some issues are tied to deeper technical limitations we’ve already mentioned. That’s also why we’re continuing to rebuild parts of the game in parallel. We’ll share more about that as soon as we can.

We’re truly happy to finally show you the result of all our efforts, and we sincerely hope it was worth the wait. Once again, we’re sorry for the delay, we did our best.

To mark the occasion, we’ll be giving away an exclusive in-game skin. More details will be shared when the Garage update releases.

ART DIRECTION REFRESH

You may have noticed some changes already. We’ve started refreshing the game’s art direction, including updates to the Steam page, our logo, and our social media. We’ll dive deeper into this in a dedicated Under The Hood very soon, but don't hesitate to share your thoughts on it!
