Ironwood Studios has just introduced its second free content update for its survival title, Pacific Drive, since its February 2024 release. It is set to feature a range of changes and improvements, including more control over your car, the environment, and the overall experience.
The Drive Your Way Fall 2024 update introduces six gameplay presents, which you can see detailed right down below:
- Iron Wagon: Significantly increases difficulty, adds permadeath
- Scenic Tour: Lowers difficulty, removes death and reduces requirements to driving, hazards, damage and crafting
- Mechanic’s Road Trip: Driving is impacted by the terrain and status of the car. Items cost more to repair and cannot be crafted while on runs
- Joyride: The same gameplay and tension as Pacific Drive, but gathering, crafting and research requirements are all lowered. Damage and failure penalties are minimal
- Nuclear Journey: Every map will be filled with lose dose radiation that is harmful to the player. Storms are faster and stronger, hazards and damage are more plentiful
- Olympic Gauntlet: All aspects of the game are much harder. An extreme gauntlet to challenge the most dedicated breachers
The customized experience doesn’t simply stop with new presets. Thanks to over 50 new settings, you can adjust gameplay elements like terrain impact, storm intensity, damage modifiers, and crafting requirements, just to name a few.
Small but noticeable quality-of-life improvements have also been made to Pacific Drive so that performance and optimization will improve across all platforms. Pacific Drive is available now for PS5 and PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store). If you’re interested in cosmetics, the Anomalous Customization Pack is also now available for just $4.99, featuring everything from a Souvenir Shifter to a full Decal Kit.
