Alpha 0.50 improves driving on slopes and fixes cars that used to get stuck. It also brings together everything added after 0.38.

• HILLSMore power and grip on hills

  On steep slopes the car gets more torque and grip and fights gravity less, mostly at low speed. The same applies when climbing in reverse.

• STUCK CARSGetting out of walls and other vehicles

  A car pressed against or overlapping a wall or another vehicle is pushed out in small steps, and only the speed toward the obstacle is cancelled. If both sides are blocked, turning the wheel lets the car edge out sideways. A car touching a tree also no longer turns into the trunk.

Also in this version, added since 0.38:

• WEAPONSMissiles and micro guns on the DeLorean

  Homing missiles lock onto police units ahead of the car by themselves. On the controller’s Circle button (Ctrl on PC), a tap launches a missile and holding fires the micro guns, which heat up and can overheat.

• WORKSHOPRoadster Works

  Park the Tesla Rocket Roadster on the pad near the garage to upgrade its gas tank (three levels), install micro guns and missiles (three levels), and get a free service.

• ON FOOTSquare jumps and climbs

  On low walls and fences Square climbs; with nothing in the way, it jumps. If a moving car hits you, you are thrown and get back up within moments.

• POLISHA new run and better text

  The running animation was rebuilt. Portuguese now has proper accents, prompts that mixed in English were fixed, and the character menu is bigger.

• ENGINELukasX Engine 1.7.0 foundations

  A fixed-step clock, the suspension spring integrator, and a camera visibility test were ported from LukasX Engine 1.7.0 (MIT license). The game simulation still runs at 60 Hz and the springs resolve at 120 Hz.

Measured on a Ryzen 7 7735HS while driving, with 8 cores, the average frame time dropped from 15.97 to 14.58 ms on the Balanced preset and from 26.27 to 24.67 ms on Quality, compared with 0.39. These measurements are not PS4 FPS.

Earlier saves remain compatible. The save format is 17.

Build dated November 10, 2026 · 78 PC test suites passed and the 49 PS4 package files were checked. Downloads: PS4 254,803,968 bytes; PC 181,733,389 bytes. The PS4 package was built and audited, but this build has not been tested on a physical PS4. Earlier versions were tested on a console: firmware 13.52 is recommended and performance is poor on 14.00. No PS4 FPS measurements have been published. This version remains in Alpha.

Hold the touchpad on PS4 or hold M or Tab on PC to open the character menu. A quick press opens the map.

• SNACKSRestore health from the menu

  Buy fries, a hot dog, or a burger and eat them when you need to restore health.

• EQUIPMENTBaseball bat

  Buy the bat at the weapon shop and equip it in the eighth slot of the weapon wheel.

• EXPLORATION100 collectibles across the map

  Each collectible awards $250 in-game. The camera remembers separate settings for walking and driving.

0.37 arrives on PS4 and PC with the same HUD, the same driving physics and the same driving sounds. On PC it is also the Remastered edition, with new lighting; on PS4 the lighting stays as in 0.36: the new effect was built for the PC processor and was not brought to the console.

• HUDReadable at a glance

  A compass at the top, glass panels with marked corners, a 30-segment ring speedometer that shows engine load, and framed button prompts.

• PHYSICSThe car gets gears and weight

  A six-speed automatic with a torque cut on every shift and a rev limiter. Fast cars gain downforce, tyres float on a wet road at speed, grass and sand slow the car down, and a damaged car loses power and pulls to one side.

• SOUNDSYou can hear what the car does

  A clunk on every gear change, the limiter cutting in and out, wind that grows with speed, rumble on rough ground and spray hiss on a wet road. All synthesized.

PC only (Remastered edition): ambient occlusion, sun shadows from buildings, cars and trees on the Quality preset, bloom, colour grading and vignette. The world is drawn on up to 8 processor cores, with GPU scaling, V-Sync and borderless fullscreen (F11).

PC performance, measured on a Ryzen 7 7735HS driving in town with the frame rate unlimited: Performance 188 FPS, Balanced 65 FPS and Quality 36 FPS. Balanced is the recommended preset; Quality, with the sun shadows, needs a fast processor. These measurements are not PS4 FPS.

The PC version is a single .exe file: nothing to install, but characters appear as simple models and the opening videos are not shown. The PS4 package includes everything.

Previous saves remain compatible; the save format is still 15.

Build dated November 8, 2026 · 74 PC test suites passed and the 48 PS4 package files were checked. Downloads: PS4 254,672,896 bytes; PC 3,460,608 bytes. The PS4 package was built and audited, and the developer and other players tested the game on a physical PS4: firmware 13.52 is recommended and performance is poor on 14.00. No PS4 FPS measurement has been published. This release remains in Alpha.

The DeLorean onboard system is now a selector. Tap X, pick Road, Aquatic, Flight or Go to location with the D-pad and confirm with X. Each function can be used as many times as you like without leaving the car. The shortcuts remain: hold X to swap between road and aquatic, and R1 takes off or lands directly. Switching back to road during flight makes the car glide down instead of dropping.

The DeLorean is waterproof. In deep water without aquatic mode it floats in place, without flooding or taking damage, until you switch aquatic mode on. If you leave the car there, you swim.

On the Tesla Rocket Roadster, in Thruster and Rocket modes, a tap on L1 takes off or lands. A second tap during the landing hovers again, and holding L1 still boosts. Returning to road mode with Square also lands the car gently.

Swimming endurance lasts much longer. Floating still, it now lasts over 80 seconds instead of about 22.

Fixes: the gas text no longer appears inside the Roadster speedometer (mode and gas now have their own strip), translated notices are no longer cut off, a stray line on the main-menu information card was removed, the main menu now names the current update and the progress-saved notice no longer covers the menu hints. Earlier saves remain compatible; the save format is still 15.

Costa Aurora now has a garage for up to eight vehicles. Park inside it and the vehicle is registered and saved: when you load the game, it is still there. The gate opens as you approach and closes as you move away.

On the map, a “?” near the police station marks an abandoned DeLorean DMC-12. Arrive with the tow truck from your garage, hold Circle to tow and take the car to the dedicated workshop. Pay $1,250 for the tools with Triangle and watch the restoration. Then tap X to open the DeLorean system: Circle opens the map to pick a safe destination and X confirms the jump through a short tunnel; R1 arms flight and, holding X, the car switches to aquatic mode.

Also arriving: a rapid-fire AK-47, blue dots on the radar and map showing where the remaining pigeons are, the ability to leave a moving car (you fall, lose a little health and get back up) and Sierra Aurora: tall mountains with a winding road, guard rails, pine trees, snow-capped peaks and a summit overlook. There are also a few secret codes for those who like to look.

The HUD was redesigned to be more discreet: a compact block with money, character and weapon, an arc speed gauge and, in the DeLorean, a panel with mode, status and hints. On the main menu, Square opens an information card and Triangle chooses the region. Steering is slightly easier to turn at high speed, time trials show splits and a new-record message, and collision on the bridge guard rails is more precise.

The Portuguese and English texts were reviewed: duplicate and conflicting entries were removed and the new messages are translated. Earlier saves remain compatible; Alpha 0.35 uses save format 15 and stores the garage and the DeLorean quest. Saving is blocked during restoration, the tunnel jump, aquatic mode and flight.

Buildings now use four facade styles: art deco, glazed offices, residential and industrial. New original textures, frames, entrances, canopies and rooftop details add variety to the streets. Selected windows light up at night. Buildings retain their existing volumes and have no new accessible interiors.

Aurora Afterglow is the new original menu theme: electric piano, synths, bass and soft percussion. It follows the music and master volume controls, with smooth transitions. The 35- and 41-second loading videos remain available.

In the PC CPU comparison with Alpha 0.33, average frame cost in Quality mode fell from 33.159 to 27.684 ms (16.5% lower). In Performance mode, it rose from 11.293 to 11.844 ms (4.9% higher). These are 24 measurements across three daytime scenes at unchanged resolutions; the figures are not PS4 FPS. Console performance still needs testing.

Earlier saves remain compatible. The 48 pigeons, reward, races and other existing mechanics are preserved. This update keeps the same package size as Alpha 0.33.

The city now has 48 pigeons: 42 on streets and six on low rooftops. They take short walks and pause. When hit, they disappear in a burst of white feathers. Bullets, melee, player-driven vehicles and explosives can reach them.

A transparent top announcement shows the count, such as “Pigeon cleanup: 1/48”. Complete all 48 and the sanitation crew rewards you with $3,250, once. Progress autosaves in safe conditions; loading preserves removed pigeons and the paid reward.

Distant pigeons pause, detail decreases with distance and feathers use a fixed particle limit. Neighborhood streaming is also optimized. PC tests did not demonstrate an overall performance improvement; PS4 performance still needs validation.

Earlier saves remain compatible. Alpha 0.33 stores pigeon progress and reward payment in its new save format. The count resets in a new game.

Brasília gains more plateau land, Senate and Chamber landmarks, new buildings and a northern bridge. Three car categories join traffic, and the Tesla Rocket Concept appears more often, with a maximum of four healthy vehicles on the map.

The heliport helicopter can now be flown: Triangle boards, R2 accelerates, L2 slows, Circle rises and Square descends. Land before exiting. A collision causes an explosion and defeats the pilot.

Three checkpoint time trials reward the first win. On New Game, X picks one of eleven available locations; Square opens district selection. Every start has a nearby vehicle.

A cleaner menu, revised HUD and colored map. Autosave uses a small indicator; ordinary movement progress can also be saved in safe conditions. GTA Online is under construction: after loading, an unavailable-connection notice lets X continue to local mode. This release has no multiplayer.

More collision contacts with lamp posts, traffic lights and the parked helicopter, with NPC obstacle avoidance. Terrain and collision queries are optimized and character animations are corrected. Overall PC frame cost improved by about 1–2%, a small difference subject to run-to-run variation; this is not a PS4 FPS measurement.

Classic Roadster is the ordinary convertible. Tesla Rocket Concept is the thruster vehicle: find R in the map list or use Controls → Roadster → X to mark its real location on GPS. Square cycles Road, Thruster and Rocket; L1 lifts or boosts and L2 descends or brakes.

The map now lists locations by name and symbol. The Dpad selects and centers each point; X marks the route. Five starting locations put new campaigns near cars. The HUD is reorganized, character pose blending is corrected and the rocket launcher has two-handed support.

Desert, mountains, reserve and mangroves have more distinct colors and lighting. An original quiet piano and synth theme accompanies the menu and follows the volume controls.

The Quality profile keeps 720p and has been rebalanced. Across three PC scenes with two runs per version, mean frame cost fell from 46.5 to 32.9 ms, about 29%. Performance mode remained essentially unchanged. These measurements are not PS4 FPS; console results still need testing.

Build dated November 3, 2026 · 57 PC test suites passed, including 109 new checks. All 47 package files were checked. This release remains in Alpha.

Car steering responds faster to the stick while keeping grip and cornering control. The chase camera sits closer, follows the car more promptly and aligns when entering the vehicle.

Arrests now show PERDEU, PLAYBOY in Portuguese or BUSTED in English, with a grayscale scene and release at a police station after five seconds. The fine is charged once, and weapon or character selection cannot freeze the transition. Hospital recovery remains a separate flow.

Officers on foot and inside patrol cars can take damage. Shots through windows reach the occupant; doors and the roof still provide cover. Defeated officers stop shooting and attempting arrests.

Build dated November 3, 2026 · 56 PC test suites passed, including 24 checks focused on these fixes. All 47 package files were checked. Installation and behavior of this build on a physical PS4 still need testing.

The Roadster has revised visuals and three modes on Square: Road, Thruster and Rocket. Air modes hover while pressure remains; L1 lifts or boosts, and L2 brakes or descends. R1 with the stick enables stunts. Hold Dpad Up for 1.2 seconds to right a stopped car where there is clearance.

A rocket launcher with projectiles, vehicle explosions and temporary surface marks. Buy it at an open store: $1800 with two rockets; a two-rocket refill costs $300. The wheel and inventory only equip items you own.

Brasília is now on another island, reachable by plane or boat. Airports and five marinas appear on the map. The flight costs $1350, return included. Loading chooses between 35- and 41-second videos, with a smoother sky arrival and more clouds.

The text cache reuses radar marker letters as they move. There are also changes to police, notifications, the map legend and migration of 0.28 saves.

Build dated November 3, 2026 · 55 PC test suites passed and all 47 package files were checked. Testing this build on a physical PS4 is still pending.

A Roadster inspired by the Tesla Rocket, rarely found in parking areas across the map, with thrusters, flight mode and rollover recovery. The R marker appears when you get close; the car does not spawn in ordinary traffic.

R1 toggles flight mode, L1 activates the thrusters and L2 applies the airbrake. Hold D-pad Up for 1.2 seconds to right a stopped Roadster if there is enough room. See the Roadster controls tab for details.

A new 1280×720 rendering option with a 1080p interface. Higher clarity costs more processing time; Performance mode keeps 960×540. Visibility, collision and save adjustments help maintain prototype stability.

October 29, 2026 build · 54 PC test suites passed and all 45 package files were verified. This build still needs testing on a physical PS4.

The scene fades to grayscale before the defeat sequence: SE FODEU in Portuguese or WASTED in English, followed by a hospital respawn. Features video with its background removed and a quiet sound effect.

Interactive airports connect Costa Aurora and Brasília. Buy a $1,350 ticket, watch the journey and explore a region inspired by Brazil’s Central Plateau. The return to Costa Aurora is included.

Fixed-step physics, revised collisions and distance-based character updates, plus punches that knock down NPCs and let them react.

A new 35-second loading movie, with full audio and a sky transition to the character. The six-second menu introduction remains separate.

Fixes to motorcycle crash recovery, boat, shop and training interactions, and video frame decoding. Rendering adjustments avoid unnecessary work in some stages.

October 26, 2026 update · 45 test suites passed and the package was audited. This build still needs testing on a physical PS4.

A smoother chase camera, tire marks, wet-road spray, dust and impact sparks. Hard motorcycle crashes can cause a fall, injury and brief recovery.

Effects use fixed quantity limits, with up to two detailed motorcycle models per frame. The launch background has been updated in Full HD without cropping.

October 25, 2026 build · 45 test suites passed. Package audited; performance on physical PS4 hardware still needs testing.

A sport motorcycle on the streets and near the first car, with an imported 3D model, cornering lean and riding poses for both characters. Smoother on-foot movement and new road details.

R2 accelerates, L2 brakes and reverses, Square operates the rear brake, and Triangle mounts or dismounts when the motorcycle is stopped.

October 25, 2026 build · 43 test suites passed. Package audited; performance on physical PS4 hardware still needs testing.

More responsive steering, optional aim lock and a radar that follows the camera. A third bridge, palm-tree collisions and vehicle fire effects have been updated.

Enable aim lock in Settings → Controls. It is off by default.

October 25, 2026 build · 41 test suites passed. Package audited; performance on physical PS4 hardware still needs testing.

An irregular coastline, islands, bridges and new biomes. Boats at four marinas, limited swimming, flooded engines and hospital recovery. A refreshed menu and wanted stars beside the radar.

October 24, 2026 build · 38 test suites passed. Package audited; performance on physical PS4 hardware still needs testing.

An optional FPS and frame-time meter, clearer graphics preset descriptions and reused memory when searching for nearby vehicles.

October 23, 2026 build · 35 test suites passed. Performance on physical PS4 hardware has not yet been measured.

Progressive steering, improved cornering grip, more predictable braking and reversing, and a camera that follows the car. Drift mode is still available when you want to slide.

A Lukasx Studios opening, notices in Portuguese and English, and a discreet autosave indicator. The project's identity starts before your first drive.
