Hello everyone,
Update 3.3 EA is now available. With this update, we are updating The Bus to Unreal Engine 5.6, which includes new lighting, a new sky and weather system, a pressurized air system and a complete overhaul of the snow. In addition, we have implemented general performance improvements and enhanced the driving physics: vehicle friction is now also influenced by the ground and weather.
You can find all the changes in detail in the complete changelog below.
We are also getting closer to the release of The Bus: On March 26, 2026, The Bus will be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders are already open, and pre-orders on Xbox Series X|S will begin on March 4.
