BeamNG.drive, a mainstay of our record of one of the best racing video games because of its dedication to being a vehicular sandbox for soft-body crash-damage lovers, in addition to its PvP and modability, simply had its largest replace. The patch consists of “large graphics modifications”, which implies shadows must be extra secure, there’s HDR output assist on Vulkan and Direct3D 12, bodily right gentle attenuation, and dynamic ambient lighting.
My favourite element is that, along with volumetric clouds, BeamNG.drive now has an correct night time sky. “The sky is predicated on actual astronomical values,” the patch notes say, “together with Milky Approach rendering and a constellation database, totally synchronized with latitude, longitude, date, and time of day.”
That is the form of devoted consideration to element you need while you’re slamming automobiles into fences at a number of hundred miles per hour to see which of them survive. (The reply is none of them. Fences all the time win.)

BeamNG.drive’s infamously clunky UI has been overhauled too, with a redesigned pause menu, improved gamepad performance, and a revamped UI for replays. It is extra moddable than the earlier UI too, which is nice information as a result of I think it is nonetheless going to really feel fairly off-putting to new gamers.
Different additions embody an overhauled photograph mode, extra sensible automobile lights, a brand new aerodynamic physics system, numerous map enhancements, reminiscence optimization, up to date ambient audio, an all-gravel Rally Loop, a freeroam tutorial, and a brand new automobile: the Cherrier Ardente, “a stable contender for the best-looking automobile we have ever finished, with a sculpted up to date exterior and a sporty, driver-focused inside.”
This replace brings BeamNG.drive as much as model 0.39. It has been in early entry for 11 years now, and is so previous it got here up via Steam Greenlight. There is a PS5 model presently within the works, although “future PC updates” are promised as effectively.
