BeamNG.drive to launch on PlayStation 5 in October 2026

The open-world vehicle simulation game ‘BeamNG.drive’ is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro on October 19, 2026. The console version is expected to arrive in an early access state, meaning it will be released while still undergoing active development.

Known for its highly realistic soft-body physics engine, the game calculates approximately 2,000 physics-related events per second to simulate detailed vehicle damage and driving responses. The console release is expected to coincide with a major update, which may include a visual and lighting overhaul, an improved user interface, a new split-screen mode for local multiplayer, and additional content such as the ‘Cherrier Ardente’ vehicle and new maps.

Players will have access to various environments, including 12 open-world settings, and a wide range of customizable vehicles ranging from small cars to heavy trucks and armored vehicles.
