Evaluation

Can't Drive This launched out of Early Access on March 18, 2021. In the launch announcement, the developer was candid: while they have a long list of ideas for the game (new modes, Workshop integration, accessibility features, etc.), further development was explicitly conditional on sales performance — "if Can't Drive This sells well, we'd be thrilled to keep adding awesome new updates in the future. Truth is, we'll just have to see how it goes." They also signaled a shift in focus toward their next game, Escape the Loop. Since the 1.0 launch on March 18, 2021, there have been no major content updates to Can't Drive This. On June 17, 2024, Pixel Maniacs announced their next title — ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard — noting it had been "3 years after releasing Can't Drive This," framing the game firmly as a completed prior project. On June 1, 2026, the studio posted about a bundle pairing Can't Drive This with Zeepkist, but this is a storefront promotion, not new content for the game itself. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future updates, and no developer statements suggesting ongoing content development for Can't Drive This. The studio's attention has clearly moved on to ChromaGun 2. The game shipped as a complete product at 1.0 launch and has remained so.
Evidence
Pixel Maniacs announces ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, describing it as their next game and referencing Can't Drive This as a completed prior project ('3 years after releasing Can't Drive This'). Studio has moved on to a new title with a new publishing partner.

1.0 launch post confirms exit from Early Access. Developer expresses desire to keep updating but states it depends on sales: 'if Can't Drive This sells well, we'd be thrilled to keep adding awesome new updates in the future. Truth is, we'll just have to see how it goes.' Simultaneously signals a pivot to next game, Escape the Loop.

About this game

Can't What Now?

Can't Drive This is a competitive co-op (it's a thing) multiplayer party racing game. Drive your monster truck WHILE your friend builds the road in front of you! Oh, and don't go too slow, OR YOU'LL EXPLODE! Like in that Sandra Bullock movie, in which she kinda does the same thing, but on a bus. Also, she doesn't explode (Spoiler alert). Also, Keanu Reeves was in the movie.


Co-Op Multiplayer Goodness

  • Play local face-to-face couch co-op, with your best frenemy! Grab some friends and some controllers, and go destroy those friendships! (We probably should, but do not take responsibility for any damage to your interpersonal relationships.)
  • If you don't have any friends around, play single-player, or find some random internet-person to play with! Experience the joy of playing Can't Drive This without that annoying smelly friend next to you. You know the one I'm talking about.

Customization!

Where's the fun in online multiplayer if there's no customization, you ask? A very intelligent question, you beautiful person! Can't Drive This features a gazillion* unlockable parts and a vehicle editor so you can show off your awesomeness to everybody! But as we all know, only one player gets to drive a car at a time. The other player builds the road. That's why we also included a road editor! Create your custom track and have your friends race on a gold-plated yellow brick road, if that's your jam!


Feature List

  • Racing Game (What the game is)
  • Level-Editor (The game is this, too!)
  • Customizable Vehicles
  • Customizable Race Tracks
  • Single-Player
  • 2-Player Online Multiplayer
  • Local Multiplayer (up to 4-Player Split-Screen)

*Not actually a gazillion parts. Gazillion is probably not even a word.
