BeamNG.drive comes to PS5 on October 19, in early access and without mods

BeamNG has confirmed that BeamNG.drive will launch on PlayStation 5 on October 19, 2026. The studio first said in May that the game was coming to the console this year. [1]

Early access on console too

The PlayStation Store listing describes the PS5 release as early access: “BeamNG.drive is releasing in Early Access on PlayStation. This means that the game is still actively being developed.” The listing shows a release time of 10:00 AM EDT on October 19, lists support for 1–4 players, and describes “12 sprawling, beautiful open-world environments” and “dozens of refined, totally customizable vehicles”. [2]

The PC version has been in Steam Early Access since May 29, 2015. [3]

What will not be there at launch

BeamNG’s own announcement says: “VR and mods won’t be supported at launch. We are aiming for feature parity across platforms where possible in the long term, but we can’t confirm timing or scope just yet.” [1]

Neither the announcement nor the store listing gives a price, and the store page offers a wishlist rather than a pre-order. Neither source mentions racing wheel support. [1] [2]

PC gets version 0.40

BeamNG says PC players can expect version 0.40 “around that date too”. The last major PC update was version 0.39, released on July 29. [1] [4]
