After months of development and your valuable feedback throughout Early Access, I'm excited to finally share what's next for Pretend Cars Racing 2.

Full Release – August 31

Pretend Cars Racing 2 will officially leave Early Access and launch as Version 1.0 on Monday, August 31.

Version 1.0 will include all of the major features promised during Early Access, making this the complete Pretend Cars Racing 2 experience.

Story Mode Preview Coming This Week

Later this week, a new Early Access update will be released, introducing the first chapter of Story Mode. This update offers an early look at the campaign ahead of the full Version 1.0 launch.

Price Update – July 30

As the game approaches its full release with all of its planned features, the price will increase from US$4.99 to US$7.99 on July 30.

If you've been thinking about picking up the game, now is the perfect time.

Bundle Opportunity

From July 27 through August 3, Pretend Cars Racing will be available at 30% off.

During this period, you can also take advantage of the Pretend Cars Racing Bundle to get the best possible price on both games before the new pricing takes effect.

Thank you all for your support, bug reports, feedback, and encouragement throughout Early Access. Your help has been invaluable in shaping Pretend Cars Racing 2 into the game it is today.

I can't wait to share the full experience with you on August 31. See you on the starting grid!
