Rollin' Records

Speaking of deliveries. It sounds like the vinyl soundtrack has been delivered to the warehouses early and distribution to customers is imminent!

It’s also worth noting that once these shipments have been accounted for, a handful of the limited edition records might also become available, so keep an eye on the Laced Records Store for a chance to snag one.

Creative Community

We’re also putting together a community round-up post. So if you’ve taken some nice snaps in Photo Mode, made some cool Lego builds, or created anything else creative and related to Star Trucker, be sure to send some pics or links our way for a chance to be included!

Share them with us on one of the following:

Cruisin' On

So, just a short update, but hopefully an informative one. We’re super excited to finally confirm when the peripheral support should drop and there’s lots of other neat things in the works.

We’ll be back again soon with patch notes for the July update. Until then, keep your eyes on the road!

Sorry this one was a bit last second! We’ll try and do a better job of informing players about any future AMA sessions ** Yes. Ross is also “Rosso” and in charge of weigh station checks throughout the Star Trucker galaxy :D
