Pacific Drive's biggest update yet has been confirmed for April 3. The expansion arrives nearly a year after the game's launch, which should be excellent news for fans looking to pick Pacific Drive up or return to its hazardous junctions. According to the developers, the upcoming update will also introduce a highly anticipated feature that players have been requesting since day one.
In 2024, Pacific Drive won the Best Gameplay award at Gamescom Latam, along with several other prestigious honors from various events. It was soon recognized as one of the best survival adventure titles of the decade and garnered attention for its unique approach to making exploration enjoyable and rewarding. Perhaps this massive success has been the motivation for the developers to continue working for over a year, still striving to bring more content to their beloved game.
As Pacific Drive hit one million sales, Ironwood Studios, the game's developer, announced Endless Expeditions, the largest update yet, featuring new content and quality-of-life options. The expansion will also introduce a new way of playing the game by incorporating a series of continuous drives between multiple junctions designed to challenge even the most skilled drivers. The good news is that Endless Expeditions is free, and all players who own the original game will be able to download it upon release. Fans eager for this update should mark April 3 on their calendars, as that is the confirmed release date for PS5 and PC.
Pacific Drive's Endless Expeditions Update Releases on April 3
- Endless Expeditions objectives with new rewards
- New spawning system
- New Suspend Run feature
- New discoverable zone trader
- Over an hour of added radio music
- Additional faxes expanding on the lore
- Enhanced tools
One of the highlights of the Endless Expeditions update is the Suspend Run feature, which enables players to save, exit, and continue their adventures. For those unfamiliar, Pacific Drive' s original save mechanics only allowed players to save and quit after reaching a safe zone or completing a mission, which hindered progression. However, with this new mechanic, players can quit the game mid-exploration and resume from where they left off without losing any progress.
Endless Expeditions' release isn't the only good news for fans. The developers recently confirmed a TV adaptation of Pacific Drive, which could draw more players to the game—potentially leading to additional content or even a new installment. Currently, the developers appear to be focused on this upcoming update and have not disclosed any plans for the game's future beyond Endless Expeditions.
