[h3]New steering wheels – match the interior to your style[/h3]

In the Up 2 You DLC, you will also be able to replace the steering wheels in your cars. It’s another way to adjust the interior to your personal style and the character of the vehicle. Whether you prefer a classic look or something more sporty, choosing the right steering wheel will help give each car its own personality.

See you in the next devlogs!

New Activities

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
In today’s update for the full version of the game, we’re starting to bring the bar to life!

To begin with, we’re introducing a new minigame - pool.
In the bar you’ll meet characters who are happy to sit down and play a match with you. You can even place a bet – winner takes all!

Another minigame is coming soon!

A new location is also appearing in the town of Winston Springs. For now it’s closed, but you can peek through the window to see what’s going on inside - a pawn shop!

Along with the pawn shop, a new character joins the game - Tony.
Starting today, he will appear in email events where you’ll get to know him better. Tony will also play a role in the upcoming game Police Chief Simulator.

What do you think this location will be used for soon?

[h3]Other changes:[/h3]

Fixed a bug that prevented skipping tutorials with the mouse
Visual improvements to the bar
Minor visual fixes across the map

Last week we announced bulk orders, which were supposed to arrive this week. Unfortunately, we still have a few bugs to fix before we can release them. Don’t worry though - the update is just around the corner!

Interior Customization

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
In today’s devlog we’re continuing what is probably your favorite topic related to the upcoming DLC - vehicle customization!

This time we’d like to show you what kind of changes you’ll be able to make inside the vehicle. One of the things you’ll be able to place in the cabin will be various accessories.

These accessories won’t be just static decorations. They will react to the movement of your vehicle, making the car interior feel more natural and alive.

In the upcoming devlogs we’ll show you more changes and elements that will be available for customizing the interior of your vehicles. We hope you’ll enjoy the new personalization options!

Upcoming Update

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
We’re preparing another update for the full version of the game that will open up a brand-new trading branch for you.

A new app will be added to the game. Once per week, it will feature a special order that requires you to complete a larger shipment for a single client.

Each order will require 7 random vehicle types, delivered in specific colors and in a specified technical and visual condition.

The order will be time-limited, so good organization and efficient vehicle management will be key.

Rewards for completing the order:

the full market value of the delivered vehicles
an additional bonus calculated from the total value of the order
every delivered car will count toward trophy crafting progress and unlocking special colors

This will be a new challenge for dealers who can react quickly to market demands and efficiently assemble larger orders.

The update is coming next week!

While waiting for update, we invite you to watch the Police Chief Simulator trailer, a new game from our friends at Perfect Circle Team. The game takes place in Winston Springs, and you may have already seen the police station up close on the Car Dealer Simulator map.

We also know the release date of the free prologue - April 20, 2026.

Economy Update

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
A big economy update for the full version of the game is here, preparing it for the upcoming Up 2 You DLC. This is another step in developing systems that will support new mechanical parts and enable even deeper gameplay in the future.

[h3]What has changed?[/h3]

1. Parts now directly affect vehicle value
From now on, the price of parts directly translates into the value of the car.
Part value = base price × durability.

This makes the calculations clearer and more intuitive.

2. Labor now matters
Your work is now also included in the vehicle’s price.
Each part replacement has a service cost that increases the vehicle’s value.

Service cost scales with the value of the car.
Better car = higher labor value.

3. Better balancing between vehicle tiers
The same part can appear in both early-tier and late-tier vehicles.
From now on, labor cost balances the difference and better reflects the class of the vehicle.

[h3]What about profits?[/h3]

The changes have been thoroughly tested across multiple scenarios.

The average profit per vehicle has not changed.
However, market values have been adjusted.

That’s why it’s worth checking your current listings and making sure the prices are still attractive to customers.

Some vehicles listed on the marketplace may now have a lower price than before the update.

This creates a clearer, more scalable, and future-proof economy system.

[h3]Other changes:[/h3]

Improved transporter behavior on uneven terrain
Improved vehicle mass and center of gravity
