Hello all, As 2023 nears its close, we wanted to say a massive thank you to each of you and offer a sneak peek at what's next! This year has been another busy one, which included the 1.0 launch back in May, the release of the Pickup Truck Triple Pack DLC, tons of Steam achievements, the free Visor Lights DLC, the Thunder Sport Sedan Pack and a big focus on bug fixing, optimisation and general improvements. None of this would have been possible without you, the community. We are eternally grateful for you all playing the game, sharing your excitement, feedback, bug reports, and posting screenshots and videos! And we also want to say an extra special thank you to our team of community mods, the Flashing Lights 'CSOs' and 'MSTs', who help to keep the community welcoming, friendly and fun!
