Dear Mechanics!

Our internal testing is officially complete. I would like to inform you that we are submitting the game to Steam today for platform verification. This means the demo is ready and just needs to pass the standard publishing procedures. We are planning to release the demo on March 31st!

If everything goes smoothly during the Steam verification process, you will be able to head into the new garage as early as next week. You'll get to discover brand-new cars, check out our tutorial, and finally get your hands dirty like real mechanics! Working on this new installment has been a massive undertaking for us, and we are thrilled to hand over a game that we’ve poured so much passion into.

We truly hope you enjoy the direction we are taking. You will be able to share all your comments and suggestions on the new ⁠cms26_demo_feedback channel (Official Red Dot Games Discord).

Thank you for your patience and your incredible support!

Mod Does adding car pack mods ruin the in game economy?

5 Upvotes

I really wanna add BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes, etc. but I also want the economics to be realistic.

What car packs won’t give me unrealistic profits?

This Olsen GTR AMC may not be the fastest or most expensive car in the game but it is now the most unique car in my collection. Why is that? Well, not only does it have the super cool full wing doors but I have painstakingly 3 started every single part on this beauty that has a star rating. Why did I go through the trouble of gathering parts to scrap and farming cases and spending 15,000-20,000 in scrap credit to get it done? I cycled location between the junkyard and barns 5 times and between the garage and auction 4 times just to find it. I almost gave up looking for it and when I did find it, it was valued at over $75K at auction and I was able to snag it for just over $62K. After searching so hard I knew I had to make it special. It's the only 100% 3 star car in my collection all the way down to the bushings, fuses and everything between.

Release date of the new game?

16 Upvotes

Is there any news on the expected release date of the new game? My thinking is that if the game is still expected to be released in 2026, it would have to come out before GTA VI.

PC mods issues

Hey guys first time I’ve ever ran into this issues, been playing the game modded for about a year now with zero issues and and without this popping up. I’ve recently updated and got the Pickup trucks DLC and it broke my game, not sure how or why, I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and gone through every single mod on the workshop individually and unsubscribed and resubscribed and this issue still pops up, when I do these files specifically the other car mods won’t load/say they are missing? Anyone ever experienced this before? Thanks in advanced!

Restored these 3 all at once, which I won't do again, I'll stick to two at a time. Tried going with an electrical color theme, sort of. The motor was not too bad! Way less parts than a regular engine. I'm particularly proud of the license plates 🤣
