Where to wishlist BeamNG.drive on PS5
Wishlisting is live on PlayStation consoles. Adding the game to your list puts it in your account so you can jump straight to the purchase page when it goes live on October 19, 2026.
Wishlisting from your PS5 keeps the title tied to your account, so you will see it flagged as available the moment it launches.
What the PS5 version includes
BeamNG.drive is built around a soft-body physics engine that simulates every part of a vehicle in real time using nodes for mass and beams for springs. Crashes deform bodywork accurately, and the same system drives collisions, rollovers, suspension movement over rough ground, and drifting.
At console launch, the lineup spans sedans, supercars, rally cars, minivans, taxis, armored trucks, desert trophy trucks, 4×4 SUVs, rock crawlers, police interceptors, drift builds, flatbed semis, and classic muscle cars.
The environments span 12 open-world maps, covering tropical jungle trails, deserts, urban streets, and busy highways. Both hardware versions receive the release, with PS5 Pro listed alongside the standard PS5.
Game modes available at launch
The game ships with several ways to drive, so you can pick between structured challenges and open exploration.
- Campaigns — linear mission series across difficulty levels.
- Scenarios — themed single missions such as timed deliveries and police pursuits.
- Time-trials — pick a vehicle and route, then race your own best time.
- Freeroam — open driving with adjustable objects and conditions.
Until the October 19, 2026 launch, the main action to take is adding the game to your PS5 wishlist. Once it releases, it will appear as available on your account, giving you the go-ahead to download and start driving on either console.
