BeamNG.drive is the "next generation of driving," with plenty of videos appearing on YouTube and blazed its trail on Twitch livestreams. The driving sim game has garnered attention for its physics engine, which provides players with the "most detailed and authentic vehicle simulation" for any driving or racing game.
As the game has been receiving mostly positive reviews for its physics model, the addition of mods, map variety, and unique vehicles, players have been wanting to join in on the fun and excitement of the console. We've answered the million-dollar quest as to whether BeamNG.drive is coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Will BeamNG Drive Be Coming To PS5 And Xbox?
It's been over a year since the release of BeamNG.drive, the physics-based sandbox driving sim game currently available through Early Access on PC via Steam as of 2015. The game periodically receives updates from its developer since its demo launched in 2013 before moving to Early Access.
Many enthusiastic players hope to find the game on other platforms due to the content available, including driving missions, deep customizations, and endless creativity to design unique driving situations. Due to its popularity with players for its near-realistic crash physics, the game has been widely popular in generating content on YouTube and Twitch; however, its missing vital features and a console launch are unknown.
As it's promoted to be the next-gen of driving simulating games, many players expect the game to run smoothly on console, specifically next-gen consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While it's currently available for Windows PC with no confirmation on a PlayStation or Xbox release, players won't be able to find this game listed on the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store for the time being.
In the same breath, players on the community forums expressed there may be technical issues for the developer should they port the game to the console. Similarly, they've stated that older-gen consoles will have technical limitations and, therefore, won't be able to run as such sufficiently.
With the most recent game update for BeamNG.drive having arrived in September 2023, it will still be a while until official confirmation from the developer. For now, the game is being well-supported and will remain in Steam's Early Access as of writing.
