- Update 5: In Flames - 16 September 2026
Hey, Loopers!Before anything else: we owe you an apology and an explanation.This update took way longer than we wanted, and instead of pretending everything is fine, we'd rather be honest with you: Driveloop's sales aren't enough to cover our salaries, so we've had to take day jobs to afford small luxuries like rent and food. Turns out landlords have a strict no-Steam-reviews payment policy. We asked. Twice.What that means in practice: we are not stopping. Not even close. We just have fewer hours per week to throw at the game, so updates will land slower than we'd like. Driveloop isn't abandoned, it's just doing the same thing a lot of you are doing right now: holding down a job so it can keep doing the thing it actually loves.Thank you for being patient with us. Now let's talk about the Update 5!🆕 New Content• 🔥 New Weapon: HeatwaveA proper flamethrower. Roast everything in front of…

- EA Roadmap Revision 1 - 4 September 2025
Hello, Loopers!While we are working hard to bring you the Update 3 to the table (spoiler: it's in just a few weeks), we wanted to share an update on the Early Access Roadmap.As you can see on the image in the below, Update 2 brought a few differences with the plans we had originally. We heard your feedback and decided to change the loadout system. We removed completely the unlocks tree we had and changed it by a different system that freely lets you choose the set of Vehicle-Weapon-Hope that you want, adding an upgrade system to the weapons, and a passive unique ability to each car. We also added many other things (new weapon, vehicle, and a more fancy pause/end screen)... but enough about the past! Let's see what's ahead:Update 3 will bring cool content and a special feature you all love... Let's see:New Map: New York! Come to this snowy and icy city, unleash mayhem on it, and let thos…

- 🚨 Update 2: Loadout Overhaul + New Vehicle - 23 July 2025
Hey Loopers! A big update just hit the garage. This one changes how you build your loadouts, how weapons and hopes behave, and brings a brand new vehicle to the fight. Let’s go over the details: 🆕 New things • 🚗 Vehicle upgrade tree has been completely removed Now every vehicle is completely independent from the weapons and their special abilities (we call them Hopes). This means you can now create any combination of Vehicle–Weapon–Hope. One vehicle, one weapon, and one hope are unlocked by default, the rest you’ll need to unlock with currency. • 🔚 Vehicle level is gone As a result of the above, we’ve removed the vehicle leveling system entirely.• 🐆 New Vehicle – The Prowler A very agile and drifty vehicle with lower durability. Great for dodgers and drifters! • ⚙️ Unique passive ability per vehicle Each vehicle now comes with a unique passive that defines its playstyle and synergy…
