Why Early Access?

“We are developing an open-world driving and vehicle-care experience set on roads across Korea. We chose Early Access to improve road connections and collision, performance in cities, and driving feel with feedback from people playing the game. The current free driving, missions, vehicle customization and road races provide a playable foundation for that process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect STRADA KOREA to remain in Early Access for approximately two years after its Early Access launch. During this period, we plan to focus on road and terrain stability, city driving performance, vehicle handling, and multiplayer connections. This is an estimate rather than a fixed release date; the duration may change based on testing, development progress, and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to improve the stability of road and terrain connections, optimize city driving and streaming, refine vehicle appearance and handling, and develop the variety and balance of missions and road races. We also aim to refine the connection and synchronization of player-hosted multiplayer. These are development goals, not guaranteed additions; their scope and order may change as development progresses and we receive player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version offers free driving with traffic on a nationwide road world built from map data. It includes vehicle paint and some exterior and performance customization, refueling, car washing, tire replacement, four types of missions, experience and levels, several road-race formats, Photo Mode and local saving. Facility services are currently free in-game. The game interface is currently Korean only.

Buildings and facilities remain simplified. Some road connections and collision issues, loading delays and frame-rate drops in cities still need improvement. Experimental direct-connect multiplayer supports player-hosted rooms of up to 8 and focuses on sharing vehicle positions and records. Testing across external internet connections and eight separate PCs has not yet been completed. The current version does not include a completed campaign, police pursuits, AI racers or Steam friend invitations.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually increase the base price during Early Access as we add content and features. We therefore expect the full-release price to be higher than the initial Early Access price. The timing and size of increases have not been finalized; planned changes will be announced through Steam before they take effect.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to gather reports and suggestions through Steam Discussions and player feedback, particularly the locations of road problems, steps to reproduce bugs, and feedback on performance and driving feel. We intend to use this information to prioritize improvements and explain changes and remaining issues alongside updates. We cannot promise implementation of every request or a fixed update schedule.”
