Drive UP: Together Update v0.1.2 — Patch Notes Hub

What changed in update v0.1.2?

Update v0.1.2 went live November 2, 2026 (Steam news timestamp 21:07 UTC). Below is a complete paraphrase of the official post body—one line per bullet—with links to our dedicated pages where we have them.

Neon Junction (new map) — Night city with neon and 80s synthwave style; climb from the parking garage to 1000 meters, through five listed sections ending on a 1 km tall beacon tower; gondola, elevator, sign, and train lights illuminate surroundings. → Neon Junction map guide

Bomb Tag — On the parking garage roof; hot-potato bomb between cars; solo: drive over three lit pads to defuse. → Minigames guide

Sky Sumo — On the helipad; tiled floor; four waves where tiles flash red and fall. → Minigames guide

Port Babel updates — Lighting redo (reflections and car surfaces); forklifts on routes slowly push blocking cars; crane towers, elevator rails and lamp posts solid and hittable; performance tweaks. → Port Babel map guide

Camera collision — Camera follows through tight spaces and pipes; on by default; disable via Settings > Controls > Camera Collision.

Vehicle camera — Starts higher and further back.

New leaderboard rules — Altitude first, then finish time; ties broken by fewer attempts; per-map tables for normal and checkpoint modes plus overall ranking. → Achievements and leaderboards

Spawn protection (ghost mode) — Brief pass-through after spawn, return to start, or checkpoint return; car blinks; ends when leaving another car’s space.

Engine and turbo upgrades — Now change gear ratios and top speed; store and garage values updated. → Engine and turbo upgrades

Clutch — Fixed slipping on heavy trucks; handles 1000+ HP; Ranch Roamer called out for easier burnouts.

Altitude bar — Other players show car colors and Steam profile pictures.

Host kick — Host can kick from pause menu during a race.

Chat — “X left the lobby” and “X was kicked by the host” show profile pictures.

Lobby — Clicking the map card (image or name) opens game settings.

Visual / UX — Tire smoke looks more natural; garage and store car previews open faster (fix for cars missing when first opening Garage tab).

Fixes — Known bugs fixed (closing line of the official post).

What was in update v0.1.1?

v0.1.1 shipped October 30, 2026.

v0.1.1 did not include Neon Junction, minigames, or the v0.1.2 leaderboard overhaul.

What shipped at Early Access launch?

Steam unlock: October 26, 2026, 7:30 PM PDT (Oct 27, 02:30 UTC). There is no first-party “v0.1.0” headline in Steam news; community treats launch as baseline v0.1.0.

From the October 22, 2026 “hits Steam Early Access” post and launch thank-you messaging:

• Full climb from bottom to finish line on the launch vertical course (the mountain—see mountain map guide)
• Online lobbies up to 8 or solo
• Car colors, Steam Achievements, leaderboards
• 30 languages
• Free demo on Steam
• Launch-week milestone copy also lists cloud saves

Physics and co-op framing from launch news: thin planks, giant pipes, near-vertical ramps; solid cars for bridging and pushing.
