Surprise hit Roadcraft is one of its publisher's "most successful launches" ever

Saber Interactive has done a great job of bringing simulation games to a wider audience with its Runner series. From 2017's Mudrunner through to Snowrunner and Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game, the studio has worked hard to refine its take on realistic vehicle off-roading and transportation, with each follow-up providing a markedly improved experience from its predecessor. The most compelling version of its formula arrived last month in the form of Roadcraft, which marries the attention to detail of other Saber sims with satisfying construction objectives. It appears to be a hit, too, with the parent company of publisher Focus Entertainment calling the game one of its "most successful launches" to date.

New Roadcraft update fixes the realistic simulation game's two worst problems

Escape From Tarkov, The Forest, and DayZ are renowned as the toughest, most brutal survival games on PC, but frankly, their respective hardships pale in comparison to Roadcraft. Yesterday, I spent two real hours constructing approximately 200 feet of improvised asphalt trail, just so I could comfortably extract a delivery of steel beams from my quarry. Now, that's videogaming. However, Saber's realistic driving and hauling sim has so far been beset by a couple of experience-ruining issues. Every Roadcraft player dreads using the paving machine. Likewise, we've all run afoul of the...questionable convoy AI. The new Roadcraft update targets these issues directly.
