Double Fine release of Thank You Bus Driver

Overview

Double Fine Productions announced ‘Thank You Bus Driver’, a chaotic PC driving game where players manage public transport, schedules, and unruly passengers. The gameplay involves balancing rules and passenger satisfaction to unlock decorations and extra time.

Following the initial announcement, the studio confirmed an October 14 release date for the black-and-white comedic simulation. This title marks the debut of the studio’s new label, Double Fine Action Labs, which focuses on smaller, experimental games. The project comes after Double Fine’s transition to an independent studio following a restructuring at Microsoft that resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately one-quarter.
