#DRIVE Rally lets you relive the 90s in the most exciting era in motorsport history, where dust, mud, and snow are badges of honor.

The golden era of rallies returns in #DRIVE Rally!

Unleash the raw power of legendary rally beasts, admire every second of the stunning landscapes, and remember: the faster you go, the better!

#DRIVE Rally isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's an arcade-inspired rally-driving experience set in the golden racing era of the ‘90s. Experience the thrill of rally racing with passionate co-drivers who react dynamically to your driving, offering both praise and critique while helping you navigate the twists and turns of every stage. Explore more than 400 kilometers (or about 240 miles) of diverse rally landscapes, from the lush, evergreen forests of Holzberg in Germany to the twisty, arid roads of the American southwest— each offering its own set of challenges.

The gameplay model is intuitive for beginners and, at the same time, challenging for those who want to squeeze every millisecond out of each turn. When rivals are breathing down your neck, every moment is as precious as gold. Success will come with a co-driver who witnesses both great victories and tough losses. It's a partnership that thrives on performance and emotions! Celebrate together, but be ready to face criticism in failures.

With 36 different cars divided into 3 unique classes, #DRIVE Rally provides an extensive roster for players to master. Customize your vehicles with a variety of paint jobs, decals, and performance upgrades to make each car truly your own. Dive into the career mode to achieve racing glory or capture stunning moments with the photo mode, complete with custom camera angles and effects.


Currently available through Early Access (SteamGOG and Epic Games Store), developer/publisher Pixel Perfect Dude announced thaton April 16, 2025 #DRIVE Rally speeds into version 1.0.

In version 1.0, #DRIVE Rally will offer 22 cars, each in 3 different rally classes, fully customizable, waiting for the best drivers and co-drivers ready to compete. Over 600 km of rally stages across 6 unique locations are set to witness intense challenges in which every second counts. The game offers various gameplay modes – classic championships, free roam with collectibles, or party mode, which allows for local competition for up to 12 players.

"The whole team is incredibly excited for the full release of #DRIVE Rally. Since our Early Access debut, we've been working at full speed to deliver top-tier rally excitement to our players. We believe we've achieved that, and our community has been a huge part of this success, supporting us with suggestions and feedback. We’re counting down the days to launch, eagerly awaiting the return of the golden era of rally racing," says Pixel Perfect Dude Game Director Dariusz Pietrala.
