[p]Hello Drivers! [/p][p]We are thrilled to announce that as of December 11, 2025, DriveCrazy has officially left Early Access and hit Full Release (V1.0)! Seeing you all drift, jump, and battle through a collapsing Japan in your Kei Trucks has been an incredible journey. We want to extend a massive THANK YOU to our Early Access community. Your feedback helped us polish the mechanics, complete the story, and add all the chaotic boss battles that make this game special.[/p][p][/p][p]⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming Price Adjustment[/p][p]With the transition to V1.0, the game has grown significantly in content and polish compared to its initial Early Access launch. To reflect the value of the completed experience, we will be updating the base price of the game.[/p][p]【Price Revision Details】[/p]

• [p]Timing: The price change will take effect immediately after the current Launch Sale ends.[/p]
• [p]New Base Price (USD): $10.99[/p]

[p]The Best Time to Buy is NOW! If you or your friends have been waiting to jump into the driver's seat, the current Launch Sale offers the lowest price before the base rate increases. Don't miss this chance to grab the game at a discount![/p][p]Thank you for your continued support. Let’s keep driving crazy![/p]

"This game makes an expression that is impossible in reality," reads the blurb which pops up when you go to play DriveCrazy's demo. "Because it is dangerous to drive like this in real life, never imitate." "Ah," I yell as I race a kei truck down the side of a building while missiles and lava lurk in my vicinity, "I see what you mean."

Prompting me to give TubezGames' small lorry game a go was the fact it's just emerged from early access, having been in the oven since July 2023. Now, though, it's hit 1.0, and I'm seriously considering seeing what the rest of its now-complete story has to offer.
