10 itemsAbout the Game
Arctic Drive is a first-person co-op driving survival game set on a frozen, procedurally generated Arctic environment. Go solo or team up with up to three friends, take the wheel of a customizable off-road rig, park, explore on foot, and haul everything back before the freezing nights and blizzards roll in.
Scavenge fuel, oil, water, food, batteries, car parts, trailers, RVs and silly decorative objects across a hostile open world. Your vehicle is more than transport; it is your lifeline for a long drive in the Arctic. Repair damage, manage fluids, and upgrade with better engines, heaters, tire chains and storage to keep your survival rig running.
Every item is physical. If you can pick it up, you can try to cram it into the car, the trailer or the RV. Toss loot in the trunk, stack crates in the back, strap gear down, or load a trailer and hope the next snowdrift or pothole does not launch your supplies into a ditch.
Trailers and RVs turn into real mobile bases. Install bunks, a microwave, a radio and storage. Add solar panels and extra batteries to power heaters and lights. Mount a resource scanner to locate fuel, food and parts, or a storm scanner to warn of incoming blizzards. Make it cozy, decorate it with goofy trinkets, and share a tune on instruments you uncover along the way.
Dynamic weather, snow, wind and a full day-night cycle constantly test your planning. Seek shelter during whiteouts, keep heaters running, and watch hunger, thirst and body temperature so you do not freeze to death on the side of the road.
Built for fans of physics-heavy car survival sims like The Long Drive, Drive Beyond Horizons, My Summer Car or Mon Bazou, Artic Drive trades dusty roads and lazy summers for ice, whiteouts and brutal cold.
Key Features
1–4 player online co-op: Coordinate roles, share supplies, revive teammates and keep your vehicle rolling through the snow. Host or join friends for a shared road trip in the Artic Drive.
Immersive physics and vehicle simulation: Cars, trailers, RVs and objects use physics-based interactions. If you can pick it up, you can pack it into the car, trailer or RV. Feel the weight of cargo, drift through blinding snow, then step out in first person to explore wrecks, shacks and points of interest before hauling loot back.
Procedurally generated Arctic world: Drive through a randomised network of roads, point of interests and wilderness every run. Each journey offers new routes, points of interest, storms and driving challenges in an open world survival sandbox.
Vehicle customization, repair and car maintenance: Prepare for a long drive in the North. Explore to find engines, tires, decorations, heaters, chains, winches and storage upgrades that change your stats and driving feel. Swap parts, repair damage and keep your survival rig tuned like a true automobile sim.
Survival systems in the cold: Manage hunger, thirst and body temperature in a harsh winter climate. Hunt or forage for food, melt snow for water, cook, make a fire or keep the engines running to avoid hypothermia. Every decision affects how far your road trip can go.
Cross-platform play on PC: Built-in cross-play multiplayer on Windows, macOS and Linux so no one gets left out in the cold. Drive together, rescue each other and build the ultimate artic convoy.
