// BeamNG.drive(2015)

BeamNG.drive is a sandbox vehicle simulation game built around soft-body physics that simulate realistic vehicle handling, deformation, and damage in real time. The game originated as a spiritual successor to the open-source project Rigs of Rods and was initially released as a tech demo in 2013 before moving to Steam Early Access in 2015. Players can engage in campaigns, time trials, and free roam across various open-world maps, experimenting with vehicle collisions, environmental physics, and user-created mods. The game supports VR, features an integration with the car-building game Automation, and has native modding support with a community repository.
