Following its debut on PC and PS5 earlier this year, developer Ironwood Studios has affirmed that its atmospheric driving survival game Pacific Drive has topped half a million sold units. To celebrate this milestone, a roadmap of content for the rest of 2024 has been laid out, with this including free and paid updates.
The first of which is a summer update that will bring a Performance Mode to PS5, a Photo Mode, various new car parts and customisation elements, garage updates, an interactive jukebox, free cosmetics, and various new world elements to check out including more points of interest, road obstructions, explorable rooms, a coastal-themed highway map, and more. There is also a paid content pack that adds various cosmetics too.
The autumn update promises difficulty modes, more game customisation settings, and free and paid cosmetics, all before the winter update adds something Ironwood won’t tell us about just yet.
