Gas Station Simulator News

Welcome to another Gas Station Simulator devlog. Last time I had the privilege to introduce you to the highly anticipated Economy Update. Having said that, I’m so happy to see all of your comments and feedback under the recent announcements. If you still feel like you need to throw something at us, don’t hesitate to do that in the comments.



Today tho’, I have a little surprise for you – soon you’ll be able to expand your gas station empire with a new set of tools and mechanics thanks to Gas Station Simulator – Car Junkyard DLC. I have a sneaking suspicion that you want to learn more about the freshly announced DLC, so why don’t you just check it out for yourselves?

And if you thought that’s the only good piece of information for today, how about the release date for Gas Station Simulator - Car Junkyard DLC? It’s coming sooner than you might have expected! After the Tidal Wave DLC which is gonna be available in Q1 2024, Car Junkyard will follow in Q2 2024. How cool is that?

And to finish this announcement with a bang, Gas Station Simulator - Shady Deals DLC will follow in Q3 2024! So in other words – one DLC per quarter which means you’re gonna have a plethora of new content to delve into. Soon your gas station empire will grow even further thanks to all of these content updates.

Please keep in mind, that these estimates are just that: estimates. We also have quite a few updates for the base game on our to-do list and a whole free DLC that might slightly alter our timetable.

And that’s it for today! How do you like the whole Car Junkyard idea? What would you like to see in this DLC? Don’t hesitate and leave your comments under this announcement. If you have any ideas and suggestions regarding everything Gas Station (most importantly the freshly announced DLC) feel free to let us know. Until the next devlog, folks!
