Evaluation
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator launched on March 7, 2024 and has been actively supported with a steady stream of paid DLC and free content updates. Major content releases include the Delivery Driver DLC introducing a new game mode and vehicle (February 13, 2025), the VIP City Guide DLC with another new game mode and car (June 26, 2025), and the Black Cab DLC — the game's first officially licensed vehicle — alongside a free content update (September 18, 2025). This established a consistent release cadence of roughly every 3–4 months.
The September 18, 2025 update post encouraged the community to "stay up to date with the latest news from our teams," and no developer statement has announced the conclusion of content development. However, as of today (October 8, 2026), the last developer communication of any kind is from September 18, 2025 — over 12 months ago — with no news posts, announcements, or updates since. This silence substantially exceeds the historical 3–4 month cadence, and the developer has provided no explanation for the gap. There are no distress signals (no mentions of studio closure or funding loss), but the prolonged silence against an established active cadence means the current status of content development cannot be confirmed.
Evidence
Black Cab (LEVC) DLC launched alongside a free content update including gameplay improvements and country flag cosmetics. This is the most recent developer communication and major content release.
Last developer communication of any kind. No news posts, announcements, patch notes, or developer statements have appeared since this date — a silence of over 12 months as of October 8, 2026, well beyond the historical 3–4 month update cadence.

Take control of both your car and your business, transporting passengers across Barcelona while building up your transport empire!
After arriving in Barcelona with nothing but a car and a dream, tackle this iconic city’s bustling streets, taking your customers wherever they need to go while offering an impeccable service. You will need to follow the rules of the road, deal with impatient tourists, the changing weather conditions and rush hours, adapt your routes to avoid traffic jams and accidents… and, most of all, ensure your customers are pleased with your service to earn the best ratings and the most generous tips!
- Transport your passengers across 286 miles (460 km) of roads in the game’s 1:1 scale reproduction of a large part of Barcelona
- Unwind between two fares by exploring the city, discovering its hidden features and points of interest
- Earn experience points by driving, exploring and interacting with your customers, and use them to unlock new skills, such as the ability to accept longer fares
- Pick up customers and take them to their destination
- Follow the rules of the road and avoid collisions with vehicles and pedestrians
- Adapt your route based on random events (accidents, roadworks, parades, etc.)
