The value story

The value story

Across all 58 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 8 weeks apart. $9.57 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.

Its score puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 ($1.39, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats My Garage ($19.99, scores 52).

More about BeamNG.drive

19 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,604 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,193 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 10,955 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

6.2 hours to finish it, 15 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.4 times the campaign.

428,586 reviews stand behind that percentage.

MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

What players say

English: BeamNG.drive offers an impressive and realistic driving experience. The vehicle physics, handling, and damage system are exceptionally detailed, making every drive feel unique and engaging. The game may take some time to master, but its depth and variety make it well worth the effort. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in realistic driving and vehicle simulation. العربية: تقدم BeamNG.drive...
