About This Game

The Beaten Track is a relaxed off-road exploration game. Take an old, loaded-up 4x4 across an endless, procedurally generated land: meadows and autumn woods, winding rivers and mountain passes, and further out deserts, jungles, snowy tundra, volcanic fields and the sea.

Nothing points the way. Pick a hill, look over it, and see what's in the next valley. Somewhere out there, hidden campsites are waiting to be found.

An endless world to discover

• Every world grows from a seed: rivers that wind for kilometers, waterfalls, canyons with ramps out, natural stone arches and gorges roofed with rock.
  
• Deserts with sand seas, salt flats and the odd oasis; jungles, tundra with frozen ice flats, volcanic land and long beaches.
  
• A soft, painterly low-poly look: warm light, cool shadows and hills fading into the haze.
  
• Your map only shows where you've been, so every drive fills in a little more of it.

No roads. Only challenges.

Your truck is slow, heavy and stubborn, and the land doesn't make it easy. Shift into low range to crawl up steep slopes, ford rivers at the shallow spots (or flood the engine trying), plough through mud, deep snow and soft sand, and hunt for the one ramp out of a canyon. Your tires leave real tracks that deepen into ruts, and your truck gets caked in mud, dust or snow along the way.

Find a hidden campsite. Name it. Claim it.

Campsites are rare, and nothing on screen marks them. You learn to spot them: an open clearing, a striking landmark, dancing lights, the sound of the place coming alive. Drive into the middle, give it a name and make camp. From then on it's on the map with your name, your city and your flag, and you can travel back to it whenever you like.

• Ten kinds of campsite and 35 landmarks, from an old giant tree and a stone circle to hidden falls, a sea arch and a frozen pond.
  
• Everyone who drives in later sees who discovered it.

Storms roll in. Night falls.

A full day passes in 48 minutes, on one clock shared by every player. Watch the sun set over the hills, drive by headlight under the stars and a full moon, and get caught in fog, drizzle, thunderstorms, snow or hail. Rain soaks the ground, snow settles on everything, and every climate has weather of its own.

One shared world

Everyone who plays the same world drives in the same land. No lobby, no log-in: just start driving.

• Meet other drivers out in the land: drive side by side, honk, give a stuck truck a push.
  
• Camps made by others appear on your map. Drive in, and their tents are already standing.
  
• Make camp together: everyone nearby joins in.
  
• Every tire counts. Where many drive, a track is born: the grass flattens, the ground wears down and real paths appear across the land.

No connection? Keep driving. Your tracks and camps are shared as soon as you're back online.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
