Since then, the game has received numerous upgrades and expansions that provided gamers with a wide array of additional driving challenges and online mods. Originally released in its early access form in the summer of 2013, the first public version of the BeamNG Drive game arrived at PC game distribution platform Steam in May of 2015. This work led to the creation of two games, BeamNG.Drive and CryEngine 3-powered “Torque”. The origin of this title comes from the earlier exploits of the development team who worked on the 2011 title Rigs of Rods.
