Evaluation

Poly Bridge 3 launched on May 30, 2023 and has received consistent post-launch support, including a major free content update (the "Faulty Drive" world in version 1.5.0 on November 20, 2024), numerous quality-of-life feature patches, and a rotating Weekly Challenges system. On February 16, 2026, Dry Cactus published an explicit statement announcing that Season 15 would be the final season of new Weekly Challenges, with the last new challenge going live on May 17, 2026. The post described this as "closing the chapter on new Weekly Challenges for Poly Bridge 3" and thanked the community for their support — language consistent with wrapping up content development. Following that, patches in May and June 2026 focused entirely on transitioning the weekly challenges system to an automated loop of the existing 150 challenges, and fixing small bugs in that system. No new content or future content plans have been announced since. The only DLC is the soundtrack, released November 14, 2025. There are no unreleased DLC listings and no announced upcoming content. The developer's own statement, combined with the absence of any announced future content, indicates the game's content is now complete. The estimated completion date aligns with May 17, 2026 — the date the last new Weekly Challenge went live, as stated by the developer.
Evidence
Patch 1.5.11 transitions the Weekly Challenges to an automated rotation of all 150 existing challenges, confirming no new challenges will be created going forward.

About this game

Campaign

Explore the new Open World Campaign with a dozen worlds and 100+ new levels. Jumps, Hydraulics, ‘Normal’ Bridges, and more giving you hours of gameplay to enjoy! Take a flying leap in Vaulting Towers or flex those hydraulic muscles in Bifrost Bend!

Sandbox

Let your engineering creativity flow with no restrictions in Sandbox mode, allowing you to push your bridge building skills to the limit. Challenge your friends and the community by designing intricate levels and publish them online for everyone to enjoy.

Community

Explore virtually infinite content and challenges designed by the community in the Steam Workshop. See what bridge designs other players come up with and show off your own in the Gallery. Challenge yourself and others by competing for the top spots in the cut-throat leaderboards and histograms.


Custom Physics

Our custom physics engine gives total control, reliability, and accuracy to your bridges. Sleep easy at night knowing your bridges will perform consistently every time!

Customization

  • Mods
    Mods allow you to customize your game to suit your tastes. Modify the game’s settings, include new options, change vehicle or material defaults, translate your game with player supported language packs, and more!
  • Decorate
    Add visual flair to your level with a whole range of decor objects. Alongside generic items (traffic cone, rocks, hot air balloons, etc.), each new biome comes with a set of themed decorations as well. Paint a happy little scene, there are no limits here.
  • User Generated Content
    Create your own vehicles, boats, planes, decorations, and textured custom shapes to add to workshop levels. Let your imagination soar! Share them with the community and download things made by other players.

Loads of new features

  • Build Zones
    It’s time to think inside the box! You can only build within their borders, like a reverse boat or plane. Are you up to the challenge?
  • Pre-Built Materials
    Showing is much more effective than telling. Pre-Built materials can be included with a level on loading, giving you a helping hand or another obstacle to overcome. Work around them or incorporate them into your bridge designs.
  • New Material: Foundation
    Support long bridges with a strong foundation, or two! Expensive yet very effective at reducing stress in key positions.
