Chaotic, physics-based co-op climbing for up to 8 friends. Thin planks, giant pipes and vertical ramps stand between you and the summit, and every meter is earned. A friendly push saves your run. A friendly push also ends it.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The reason we are launching in Early Access is to continue developing the game with the help of our players' feedback and to shape the core experience together with the community. Early Access gives me a great opportunity to build a closer relationship with my players. Your feedback is incredibly helpful in guiding the addition of new features and improvements that will enrich the game. Furthermore, it is an excellent opportunity to spot bugs, polish the balancing, and make meaningful changes based on user input. During this process, our players will have the chance to closely follow the game's development and actively contribute to its final shape.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is planned to remain in Early Access for approximately 1 year.”

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

“For the full release, we plan to expand the game significantly based on the feedback from our community. This will include adding a variety of new content, such as different maps, more cars, and new game modes to enrich the overall experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most of the game's core mechanics are already in place and fully playable. Players can join a lobby with their friends, customize their car's color, and jump into the game together. Through our co-op system, you can have a great time navigating across various platforms to reach the finish line and complete the game. The new features and systems we implement from this point forward will be planned and added based directly on our players' feedback.”

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

“The price will remain exactly the same throughout the Early Access period. However, there will be a slight price increase upon the full release to reflect the many new features and content that will have been added to the game.”

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

“We plan to actively engage with our community through Discord and Steam to gather feedback and suggestions.”

  • The ultimate “Road Rage Friendship Test” simulator. — Jezdící Oko, Steam Curator

🌃 New map: NEON JUNCTION

A night city full of neon lights and 80s synthwave style. You climb from the parking garage all the way to the finish at 1000 meters.

💣 Two new minigames on the map

Bomb Tag (parking garage roof): the bomb passes from car to car like a hot potato. Get close to someone to pass it on. When the time runs out, the car holding the bomb blows up. On your own? Drive over the three lit pads to defuse it.

Sky Sumo (helipad): the floor is made of tiles. In four waves, tiles flash red and fall. Try to stay standing.

⚓ Port Babel

A brand-new night-themed harbor map. Climb giant cranes, stacked containers and floodlit docks with up to 8 friends. Plus: you can now invite friends straight from inside the game.

The only way out is up

Somewhere above you there is a finish line. Between you and it sit narrow planks, steep ramps, the insides of enormous pipes, and up to seven friends who are all trying to get there first.

Drive UP: Together is a chaotic, physics-based co-op climbing game. It is not a racing sim: momentum, weight and grip decide everything. Eight players, one mountain, and every meter is earned.

✅ What's in the game today

  • The full climb, from the bottom all the way to the finish line
  • Online lobbies for up to 8 players, with invites from inside the game or from your Steam friends list
  • Car colors, Steam achievements and leaderboards
  • 30 languages

This is Early Access, and the game keeps changing with feedback from Discord and the Steam forums.

🎮 Demo or full game?

The demo ends on purpose at a random height between 450 and 750 m. The full game goes all the way to the finish line, on every map.

🚗 Momentum is everything

Weight shifts forward when you brake. The back end steps out if you are too eager with the throttle. Suspension compresses over a crest and unloads on the way down, and your tires will let go of a steel ramp at the worst possible moment.

Momentum is the whole game. Carry too little into a climb and you slide back down. Carry too much and you sail clean over the platform you were aiming for. Getting the throttle right on a near vertical ramp takes practice, and the run where it finally clicks feels earned.

🤝 Eight players, one mountain, no safe distance

Everyone climbs the same route at the same time, and every car is a solid object. That changes everything.

You can park across a gap so a friend has a bridge. You can line up behind someone and push them over a ledge that no single car can clear. On the hardest sections, getting anyone to the top means all of you working the problem together.

You can also wait until your friend is one wheel from the summit and tap their bumper.

Helping and ruining someone use the same controls. Nobody in the lobby ever forgets which one you chose.

⚡ Fall, and you climb again.

One slip near the top can undo a long, hard climb. Height is never free here: every meter you gain is a meter you can lose.

It sounds cruel, and it is, but it turns every meter into something that matters. People go quiet when someone gets close. Hands tighten on the last narrow beam. A run that ends fifty meters from the finish line becomes a story your group tells for weeks.

Then you drive straight back in, because now you know the road.

🧱 A course designed to spit you off

Planks barely wider than your axles. Pipes where one wrong steering input has you bouncing between the walls. Ramps so steep that stopping halfway is not an option. Tilting platforms, swinging obstacles and drops you cannot see the bottom of.

Every section has a line that works. Finding it is the fun part. Watching someone else fail to find it is better.

🔧 Stuck upside down in a pipe? Call for help.

Cars get wedged. You land on your roof between two beams with all four wheels spinning in the air, and from there you have two choices.

A friend drives over, lines up carefully and shunts you free. Or you reset your car and take on the climb again.

Some of the best moments in Drive UP: Together are four people abandoning their own runs to rescue one player who is stuck sideways in a tube.

🎨 Getting started takes about a minute

Invite friends from inside the game or from your Steam friends list, pick a color for your car, and drop into the lobby. No driving skills needed: the first hill teaches you what you need.

Easy to start. Genuinely hard to finish. Very loud either way.

Grab your friends, start the engine, and drive up together.

🎁 Bring your whole crew

Add Drive UP: Together to your cart as a gift and send it to your friends on Steam: every climb is better with the whole crew.
