About BeamNG.drive

Soft-body Physics: The BeamNG physics engine is at the core of the most detailed and authentic vehicle simulation you’ve ever seen in a game. Crashes feel spectacular, as the game uses an incredibly accurate damage model.

Vehicles: BeamNG.drive offers dozens of refined, totally customizable vehicles for you to experiment with. Whether it’s a compact car or massive truck, you can tweak many of the moving parts to create just about any driving experience you want. Wheels, suspension, engines, and more; everything is under your control.

Environments: There’s plenty to discover as you drive. Featuring 12 sprawling, beautiful open-world environments, the terrain feels as vast and diverse as the gameplay options. Test out your new setup through tropical jungle passages, barren deserts, urban boulevards, fast highways, and much more.

Free Roam: Don’t want to feel limited? Take any vehicle to your destination of choice and start exploring the open sandbox. Experimentation is also key in this game mode, as objects and environmental conditions can be manipulated. Try revving up wind speeds for a challenge, or altering gravity!

Career Mode: Looking for a guided experience and sense of progression? Career Mode allows you to progress from broke and driving a beater, to having a fleet of luxury vehicles at your command – or a fleet of rust buckets, if that’s your desire!

Scenarios: BeamNG.drive offers a wide variety of scenarios for every type of driving enthusiast out there. You can complete a truck delivery request as fast and efficiently as possible, outrun police cruisers in a hot pursuit, or complete time trials to test your skills. No matter the situation, the realistic physics engine will engage and immerse you in the experience.

A reminder about Mod Support. While BeamNG aims for feature parity across platforms where possible, mods will not be supported on PlayStation at launch, and mod authoring tools are not currently planned for PlayStation.

BeamNG.drive is now available in Early Access on Steam and PlayStation 5 with both versions continuously updated! Stay up to date with everything BeamNG.drive by following the game on X or Instagram, or joining the Discord to interact with the community.
