Hey Underground Garage fans!

We’re here to share a sneak peek at the new driving physics we’ve been working on. As we mentioned earlier, this update is slated to roll out with the December update.

Check out the video below and let us know your thoughts—we’d love to hear your feedback!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

You might notice a few bugs in the video (like map issues or hilarious moments, such as a car sporting huge tires). Rest assured, these are just part of the development process, and we’re actively polishing everything up.

And sometimes we encounter more interesting bugs, like this one below. Who knows maybe one day it will be a feature not a bug.


We’re building this game with you and for you, so your feedback is incredibly valuable. Drop us a comment and tell us what you think!

Stay tuned, and thanks for being part of the Underground Garage community. 🚗💨
