Pixel Perfect Dude :

Kalisz, Poland - August 25th, 2024 - Following its appearance at gamescom’s Awesome Indies Showcase, Pixel Perfect Dude is thrilled to announce that #DRIVE Rally —their rally-themed new entry in the #DRIVE series— is officially available in Early Access today on Windows PC, macOS, and Linux via Steam—including Steam Deck—, Epic Games Store and GOG at an Early Access retail price of $19.99 USD.

#DRIVE Rally is an arcade-style rally racing game inspired by the glory days of the ‘90s, both in tone and setting. It features iconic rally cars from the ‘80s and ‘90s, pop-culture references, and easy-to-pick-up, difficult-to-master gameplay that will keep both casual and experienced racers on the edge of their seats. With over 400 km of rally tracks across different climates, dynamic co-drivers, and customizable cars, #DRIVE Rally promises high-octane fun for motorheads everywhere. To celebrate the Early Access release, the game will feature a 10% launch discount until October 8th.

Key Features:

  • Over 400 km of Rally Tracks: Tackle diverse environments inspired by real-world rally locations. From sun-scorched deserts to icy mountain roads, every track offers a different challenge.

  • 36 Customizable Cars Across 3 Unique Classes: Fine-tune your car to match your racing style. Each class modifies your vehicle's base stats, pushing you to adapt your driving to extract every bit of performance out of your car.

  • Dynamic Co-Drivers: Your co-drivers will react in real-time to your performance, guiding you to victory or throwing in some sharp-tongued criticism. Constructive criticism, of course!

  • Championship Mode: Choose a constructor and conquer all their stages. Rise to the top of the leaderboards and unlock customizable vehicle parts on your way there.

  • Photo Mode: Capture your favorite moments with a state-of-the-art photo mode.

Pixel Perfect Dude will continue to expand on #DRIVE Rally during its Early Access phase, with planned updates including additional rally locations, new cars, and new game modes. Players can expect regular content updates and fixes based on community feedback as the game gears up for full release.

The Early Access edition will include:

  • 4 unique rally locations with up to 48 stages each (24 normal and 24 reverse).

  • Championship mode with 4 fully voiced co-drivers to guide or taunt you.

  • 12 cars with unique performance stats, each with 3 different classes, providing a total of 36 variations.

  • Ongoing updates with community-driven improvements and new content planned throughout the Early Access period.

Pixel Perfect Dude is the studio behind the endless driving game #DRIVE, available now on mobile for Android and Apple iOS, and the Nintendo Switch. While #DRIVE was inspired by the pedal-to-the-metal action movies and television of the 1970s and 80s, #DRIVE Rally is the spiritual successor within the same universe looking to shift up and barrel down toward 90’s inspired arcade driving game excellence.

Stay up-to-speed with all the latest #DRIVE Rally news by following #DRIVE on X (formerly known as Twitter), and Facebook, and join their community on Discord. #DRIVE Rally is available now on Early Access on PC, Mac, and Linux systems through SteamEGS and GOG; and is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch in 2025.
