Hey everyone!

The updated WheelMates demo is now live as part of Steam Next Fest! This is a quality update built directly from your feedback.

Here are the key changes:

Car Handling and Camera Settings


Before jumping into the game, take a moment to check out the settings and experiment a little! Follow camera or free camera? Pick the one that gives you the best sense of movement. You can also adjust steering sensitivity and throttle to match your playstyle now.

Journal and Lore Immersion


We added a Journal that tracks your collectibles and stores narrative pieces.

Optimisation


We've also been working on optimization. If you had performance issues with the previous version, the game should run better on more PCs.

Steam Deck Support


You will be able to comfortably solve puzzles in a portable format right on your device.

Grab your co-op buddy and jump into the updated demo! Let us know what you think on Discord.

The full game launches on September 7 with a Friend’s Pass! Wishlist WheelMates so you don’t miss the full release.

The Firevolt Team
