About BeamNG.drive
Experience the most advanced vehicle physics simulation with BeamNG.drive, a driving simulator built from the ground up to deliver realistic soft-body dynamics that bring every collision, impact, and deformation to life. Born from the legacy of Rigs of Rods, this physics-driven experience combines meticulously crafted vehicles with interactive environments that react authentically to your driving.
Choose your adventure through multiple gameplay modes designed to challenge and entertain. Campaign mode presents varied objectives and scenarios rewarding skill and completion, while Time Trial lets you push your limits against preset benchmarks and personal records. Free Roam mode unleashes pure creative chaos—crash, smash, and experiment with dynamic weather and environmental manipulation without restrictions. The soft-body physics system applies not just to your vehicle but to every object you encounter, creating emergent moments of genuine destruction and discovery.
Control your experience with either keyboard or gamepad, with a gamepad strongly recommended for optimal immersion. The current roster of 14 vehicles spans from lightweight cars to heavy hauling trucks, each engineered with authentic mechanical behavior. Recent updates like the Festive Freight expansion introduce new variants, trailers, and logistical challenges across expanded maps including the Italy Marble Quarry and West Coast USA terrain. With over ten distinct maps to explore and master, there's endless ground to cover.
Modding and creativity are at the heart of the experience. The advanced editing suite supports 3D modeling, terrain sculpting, and custom vehicle design, letting you craft new maps, vehicles, and scripted scenarios. Install BeamMP and other community mods to unlock online multiplayer modes where you can drive with friends and compete with players worldwide. The base game supports offline single-player without authentication or internet—perfect for uninterrupted sandbox gameplay.
VR enthusiasts benefit from experimental VR mode with improved vehicle triggers and resolution controls for an immersive cockpit perspective. Whether competing in campaigns, exploring massive maps, or testing new mods, you get professional-grade soft-body physics rivaling commercial racing simulators. Alpha and Beta testers who signed up early received permanent free access with all future vehicles and content.
BeamNG.drive runs on Windows 7 and above, though Windows 10 with a modern GPU, 32GB RAM, and SSD storage delivers the full graphical and physics fidelity. Performance scales from entry-level laptops to high-end rigs, adapting the experience to your hardware while maintaining the signature realistic behavior that defines this genre-leading simulator.
