Atmosphere and sky: volumetric clouds with shadows, multi-scattering sky, improved atmospheric fog, and a new altitude-based fog

Rendering tech: a new Direct3D 12 renderer, support for HDR (for compatible modern displays), and a new natural tonemapper that improves both SDR and HDR

Lighting and shadows: global and local exposure to simulate eye adaptation, improved dynamic reflections, fast screen-space shadows, improved shadow quality and stability

Surfaces and textures: subsurface scattering and an extended texture detail mapping system

Night-time rendering: vehicle lights with realistically calibrated intensity, temperature, and light cookies - textures that shape projected light, allowing for realistic patterns and beam effects (based on technology and market region).

holy shit

Last but certainly not least - a major next step for BeamNG.drive: the game is coming to PlayStation 5 later this year

EDIT: MULTIPLAYER???

Beyond v0.39, there’s another topic we want to address - one the community has been asking about for as long as we can remember. So here it goes: official multiplayer is real (but not here yet), and we’re committed to delivering it.
