PATCH NOTE: BUG FIX - OPTIMIZATION - ENHANCED MENU
Drive Beyond Horizons Patch Notes — October 22, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
A Few Words First (Reminder)
Some early development choices created technical challenges we did not fully anticipate. As a reminder, part of the team continues to support public and beta versions with updates, while another works on rebuilding key systems in parallel.
With that in mind, it was important for us to fix certain aspects of the game before bringing you a bigger update focused on the garage. So here’s a pre-patch to prepare for the garage’s arrival!
NEW MENU
Added a new pause menu.
New graphics options added.
You can now change difficulty at runtime.
OPTIMIZATION

Fixed issue where GPU utilization increased when the game was paused.
Improved optimization when holding an item near a vehicle.

The German Hatchback compact car settings have been modified for better maneuverability.
Vegetation coverage has been reduced in the desert to make it look drier.
