BeamNG.drive
A realistic, immersive driving game offering near-limitless possibilities.
Why BeamNG.drive is Unique
Soft-Body Physics
The game is built on a revolutionary soft-body physics engine. Every component of a vehicle is simulated in real-time, leading to the most realistic and dynamic vehicle deformations and crashes ever seen.
Deep Customization
Modify and tune every aspect of your vehicle. Change engines, suspension, wheels, and even remove body panels to see how it affects performance and handling. The possibilities for experimentation are endless.
Diverse Scenarios
Test your driving skills in a huge variety of scenarios. From high-speed police chases and stunt challenges to delivery missions and destruction derbies, there is always a new challenge to overcome.
Total Freedom & Modding
Explore vast, open-world maps at your own pace. With a built-in world editor and a massive modding community, you can create and download new vehicles, maps, and scenarios, offering infinite replayability.
The Ultimate Physics Sandbox
BeamNG.drive is more than a game; it's a sandbox for automotive enthusiasts. The unparalleled realism of its physics engine allows for incredible emergent gameplay. Every bump in the road, every gear shift, and every impact is simulated with astonishing accuracy. This creates a deeply engaging experience where you can learn about vehicle dynamics, test the limits of engineering, or simply enjoy the spectacle of a perfectly executed crash in glorious slow-motion.
Welcome to a World of Possibilities
BeamNG.drive is a driving simulation that gives you the freedom to do almost anything you can think of with a car. The soft-body physics are the core of the experience, simulating the entire vehicle down to the individual beams of its chassis. This means crashes are incredibly detailed and realistic. Whether you're cruising through a scenic mountain pass, competing in a rally, or setting up elaborate multi-car pile-ups, the game provides the tools for you to create your own automotive fun.

Tips & Recommendations
- Use Slow Motion: The game's slow-motion feature is essential for appreciating the incredible detail of the physics engine. Slow down time during crashes to see every part deform.
- Experiment with Vehicles: Don't just stick to cars. Try the semi-trucks, buses, and off-road buggies. Each vehicle has a completely different feel and purpose.
- Spawn Props and Obstacles: Use the world editor to spawn ramps, containers, and other props to create your own custom stunt parks and crash scenarios.
Controls & Mobile Optimization
The mobile experience for BeamNG.drive focuses on delivering the core physics simulation to your fingertips. Controls are optimized for touch, with on-screen joysticks for steering and pedals, and simple buttons for camera control and slow-motion. Given the high-fidelity physics, a powerful device is recommended for the best experience. The game includes a performance dashboard to monitor simulation speed in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this game just about crashing?
While the spectacular crashes are a major highlight, BeamNG.drive is a comprehensive driving simulator. You can engage in time trials, rally stages, delivery scenarios, police chases, and much more. Many players simply enjoy the realistic driving experience.
How realistic is the physics engine?
Extremely realistic. The soft-body physics engine simulates the vehicle's entire structure in real-time, meaning that damage is not just visual but also affects the vehicle's performance and handling. A bent frame will cause the car to pull to one side, just as it would in real life.
Is there multiplayer?
Official multiplayer is still in development, but there are popular and well-supported community-made mods, such as BeamMP, that allow you to play with friends in the sandbox environments.
