Gas Station Simulator News

Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽

We hope that you’re all doing well and your gas station business is thriving. As of recently, we haven’t shared much info with you, so we thought it’s high time to shed some light on some of the things that we’re currently working on. So, without further ado, let’s get the news rollin’ 🔥

First of all, we’d like to inform you that you can buy a Gas Station Simulator with a 27% discount. So, if you ever dreamed of running a profitable gas station business while keeping Dennis away from your station, there is a perfect time to do so now. Go and check it for yourself ⬇️

Second of all, we’d like to inform you that we’re hard at work when it comes to Airstrip DLC ✈️ We’re amazed at how many of you responded to our survey, and soon we should be able to reveal the final results. Additionally, we plan to show you some fresh screenshots soon, so stay tuned for more information. Also, there is still a chance to add that DLC to your wishlist if you haven’t done it yet 🙇

The day has finally arrived where Gas Station Simulator and its DLCs are also available for macOS.
Both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2) Macs are supported. With the recent optimizations we did for the game we were able to lower the system requirements for Macs quite a bit, so even some Macs without a dedicated GPU can get some decent performance out of the game :)

Gas Station Simulator for macOS is a universal app with Apple Silicon being natively supported rather than going the Rosetta 2 route.

The game and DLCs are the same as on PC with one small exception: the Christmas Content Update from last week is not on macOS yet. We’ll do that one next and update accordingly.

The system requirements for M1 Macs are quite simple: any M1 Mac will do. Obviously the more GPU cores you have the more you can crank up the visuals, but even the smallest MacBook Air M1 with 7 GPU cores will run the game at lower settings.

The system requirements for Intel based Macs are less simple. Mac mini 2018, MacBook Air 2017 or MacBook Pro 13” 2016 or above will do. Basically the minimum requirement is a HD Graphics 6000 or UHD 630 to run the game at 720p on low settings.
Higher resolutions and/or better visual quality on Intel-Macs require a Mac with dedicated GPU, so you are basically looking at MacBook Pro 15/16” with dedicated Radeon GPUs or iMacs.

No more Boot Camp if you don’t want to :)

Last but not least, we just wanted to remind you that Steam Winter Sale is about to end, so if you're looking to grab the game with a discount, there is still some time to do so.

The Christmas Content update for Gas Station Simulator features specific content for Christmas along some bug fixes and optimizations. And if you look around, you might already find the spot where the airstrip will be. You can also expect the new pre-recorded stream that should be live later today, so stay tuned. Without further ado, let's get the Christmas started!🎄

[h3]Christmas Content[/h3]

• Adds Christmas themed wallpapers.
  
• Adds a Christmas themed landmark.
  
• Adds new decals to the game, most of which are Christmas themed.
  
• Customers now have Christmas hats (can be disabled in Settings if that’s too much Christmas for you). Pssst... I advise to check Gustav as well.
• Santa now flies with his sled above the gas station (can be disabled in Settings if that’s just too much cheer for your taste).
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixes a rare issue when cars would not drive to Fuel Pumps.
  
• Customers now should correctly stand in the Cash Shop queue.
  
• Trash stuck under the ground should now be removed after loading a game.
  

[h3]Optimizations[/h3]

• Dynamic shadows for NPCs will now be cast from a new low poly mesh designed specifically to cast shadows instead of their original detailed geometry to improve performance.
  
• We downsampled some textures that were unnecessarily too large in order to lower VRAM usage.
  
• Party Bus and Party Spot Bus will now load NPCs asynchronously to improve overall performance and reduce stutter.
  

That would be it for today's development update, folks. We hope that you'll enjoy the new content, and charge up your batteries so you can welcome 2023 with a blast💥Also, the whole Drago Entertainment team would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. May this time be filled with joy, love, and excitement, for what is yet to come!

Last but not least, if you already spot where the airstrip will be, but still somehow didn't manage to add it to your wishlist, you can freely do it by clicking the link below⬇️

Hey, Gas Jockeys!⛽

Recently, we've announced that today you'll be able to enjoy fresh new content related stricly to Christmas. Unfortunately, we ran into some technical issues. As a result, we're not able to release the update in its current stage, so we have to delay it a little bit. The good thing though – the team is doing his best to fix the issue, so the update should be available soon. We're really sorry that this happened, since we know that you've been eagerly waiting for both fixes and new content as well. As soon as everything is ready, we'll share the news with ya all! For now, stay tuned for more information. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hey, Gas Jockeys 👋

First of all, we’d like to let you know that your constant support and feedback mean a lot to us, and your comments, suggestions, and ideas push us forward to further develop and improve the game. Gas Station Simulator was always meant to be developed with the players, so once again – huge thanks to you. 🙏🙇

As we’re already working on Airstrip DLC✈️, which will bring you the unique possibility to build a small airstrip next to your gas station, we’d like to kindly ask you to fulfill the survey. The idea is simple – we’d like to add the specific country-related planes to the game, so roll up your sleeves, fuel up your car, kick Denis out of your station, and check the survey by clicking THIS LINK. You can also proceed to the survey, by clicking the image below:



But wait a second… I think Santa Claus is coming to to... Gas Station Simulator,
I mean. As we’re getting closer and closer to Christmas 🎅🎄 I managed to steal something from the devs that will be coming on the 22nd of December. As I can’t help myself to not share it, here is a little sneak peek of what you might expect with the Christmas update. Just don’t tell the devs, OK?



That’s it for today, fellow Jockeys! ⛽ I hope you like our little sneak peek. Don’t forget to tune in on the 22nd of December, to see what else we might have for ya. Don’t hesitate to drop your comments below, and if you still didn’t manage to add Airstrip DLC to your wishlist, feel free to do so now ⬇️
