BeamNG.drive – PC Game

Open-world vehicle simulation game

BeamNG is the developer of this open-world vehicle driving simulation game, BeamNG.drive, which saw an initial release in 2013 before entering Early Access in 2015. It followed the success of the off-road truck simulator Rigs of Rods. There are several soft-body physics components at play, granting users great control over car crashes and offering superb design dynamics.

Besides the lifelike driving mechanics, BeamNG.drive also offers top-notch car customization. Players can choose from a plethora of vehicles, from compact cars to massive trucks, and modify their chosen ride’s moving parts accordingly.

Vehicle simulation long in the making

Development of BeamNG.drive began in 2011 when some Rigs of Rods developers moved onto a new project. They were looking to build a new drive physics engine that could handle collisions.

BeamNG.drive gameplay mechanics

There are a few gameplay modes, most notably Campaign and Time Trial. You’ll find various scenarios to play in the former whereby you need to complete different objectives for rewards. Meanwhile, the latter lets you select a map route, vehicle, and level, testing you against the system’s best and your personal best times.

Top features of BeamNG.drive

One of the top features of the game is that any players who signed up for Alpha and Beta testing will receive the vehicle simulator game free during and after Early Access. Furthermore, these players will also receive all the latest items and cars once they already own the title.

BeamNG.drive system requirements

Determining the specifications for games is crucial. You want as much detail as possible without the software eating at your computer’s resources, specifically the memory and storage space. It helps if you have a good PC for BeamNG.Drive, but you can play it on lower specs or a laptop. The main effect is lower performance and unsatisfactory graphical detail. Even the soft-body physics won’t appear as realistic, and you’ll feel somewhat disappointed.

If you plan on installing BeamNG.drive mods, you’ll need more resources. Also, the developer recommends using a gamepad.
