Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I’m a solo developer with big ambitions, building this project entirely on my own.
Your support and feedback mean everything to me. By sharing this journey with you, I can continue improving the game with the community at its heart.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As a solo developer with long-term ambitions for this project, Early Access will likely last at least a year.
The initial goal is to reach a feature-complete state, but the game is designed to grow over time with continuous updates and community-driven improvements.”

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

“Early Access focuses on delivering a solid driving experience with core systems in place.

The full version is planned to expand the content and depth of the game, including more tracks, vehicles, gameplay modes, advanced tuning systems, improved AI behavior, and overall polish.

Community feedback during Early Access will directly shape the priorities and direction of the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is now a full-featured racing game. All core systems are playable, and new content and improvements arrive with regular updates.

Current features include:

15 race tracks inspired by real-world venues across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Oceania, from classic Grand Prix circuits to a city expressway, plus 2 dedicated drift venues

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

“The price will increase after Early Access as more content, features, and improvements are added throughout development. Early supporters will benefit from joining at a lower price while helping shape the future of the project.”

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

“As a solo developer, direct communication with players is at the core of this project. Through the official Discord server, Steam discussions, and regular surveys, the community can provide feedback on driving physics, AI behavior, and vehicle handling, suggest and vote on new tracks, cars, and game modes, participate in public test builds, and join multiplayer stress tests. Every update will be shaped by community input, meaning your voice directly impacts the roadmap, helping refine gameplay, balance systems, and expand content. This is a game built with the players — not just for them.”

About This Game

Find Your Racing Line

Take on circuit races, tackle rally stages, and master the art of drifting in DriveLine. Choose from 50+ vehicles in a racing experience that blends accessible driving with the challenge of managing grip, tire wear, and vehicle setup.

Build your garage, develop your skills, and find your own way to race.

Write Your Comeback in the Season Book

Return to racing and rebuild your confidence in Season Book, DriveLine’s story-driven career. Guided by a mentor, progress through chapters of racing challenges, earn rewards, and expand your garage.

Each completed chapter marks another step in your return to the track. Take on new challenges and turn an unfinished journey into a racing comeback.

Build Your Garage. Make Every Car Yours.

Buy and sell used cars as you build your personal collection. Find your next project, make room for a new favorite, and shape your garage around the way you race.

Visit the Parts Shop to upgrade your car’s performance, from engine components and brakes to suspension and tires. Combine your upgrades with vehicle setup adjustments to prepare for the next challenge.

Complete the transformation with paint customization and the livery editor. Choose your colors, create your own designs, and take your style onto the starting grid.

Learn the Track. Then Make It Yours.

Explore 15+ tracks inspired by real-world locations and choose your next challenge through map-based events. Chase consistent laps on racing circuits or tackle dedicated rally stages.

Head out in Free Ride to learn corners and try different setups at your own pace. Take on drift challenges, connect your slides, and push for a higher score.

Sharpen Your Skills at the License Center

Put your driving skills to the test in the License Center. Take on focused challenges in braking, slalom, overtaking, and more.

Earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals, refine your technique, and return to beat your best results. Bring what you learn into your next race.

Dynamic Weather. Real-World Conditions.

Adapt your driving as dynamic weather puts your grip, braking points, and racing line to the test. Rain spreads across windshields and bodywork, bringing the conditions into the cockpit.

Manage tire pressure, temperature, and wear, and adjust your approach to get more from your car.

For a connection to the world beyond the game, enable Live Weather in Custom Races and Free Ride to use weather data and local time from your selected track’s real-world location.

Drive Your Way — Controllers, Tracking & VR

Play with a keyboard, gamepad, or supported racing wheel, with force feedback on compatible wheels.

Bring natural camera movement to cockpit driving with optional webcam-based head and eye tracking. Turn your head or shift your gaze to adjust your view as you approach corners and look around the cockpit.

For a more immersive perspective, step into the driver’s seat with optional VR support, or enjoy the race on your regular screen.

Make Every Race Count

Compete across multiple races in Championships, where consistency matters as much as outright speed. Face the pressure of Elimination Tournaments, with the last-place driver knocked out after each round.

Prefer to set the challenge yourself? Configure Custom Races with your choice of track, opponents, and race settings.

Take the Competition Online
