London (April 3, 2025) – Following an incredible milestone of 1 million copies sold, Ironwood Studios has released their most substantial free update to Pacific Drive today. Endless Expeditions is packed with a trunk full of new features and improvements headlined by the addition of Expeditions and the introduction of the Suspend feature, both of which redefine how players will experience the Olympic Exclusion Zone. There’s no better time to get behind the wheel of your own wagon, Pacific Drive is on sale for 40% off on Steam until April 15th and PlayStation April 23rd.

The Endless Expeditions update brings two highly requested features to Pacific Drive. Expeditions start in the garage with an ever-changing set of challenges and restrictions, generating new routes, and ramping up the difficulty to ensure that every journey feels fresh. This new way to play is perfect for roguelite fans, offering players endless possibilities to keep playing. For a more in-depth look at Expeditions, check out the forthcoming deep dive on the Ironwood YouTube channel. Players are also now able to save their progress at any time, exit the game, and return safely when they’re ready to continue – another major change to how they play.
Other quality of life improvements includes upgrades to essential tools like the Plasma Scrapper and Thermal Vacuum, UX features, and Ida’s Exchange, a trader, where players can get new parts while in the Zone in exchange for scrap material without needing to go back to their garage. No road trip would be complete without the perfect soundtrack, and Pacific Drive’s radio playlist is now even better with 21 new tracks from new and returning artists. The Pacific Drive Radio Soundtrack Vol. 2 is also available to listen to on your actual road trips via Spotify too.
Endless Expedition Highlights:
- Expeditions – Roguelite style trips with unique routes and restrictions
- Suspending Your Game – Save and exit at any time and resume when you wish
- 21 New Songs – Over an hour of new radio music from new and returning artists
- Ida’s Exchange – A new character and vendor available during expedition runs for players to purchase unique parts, cosmetics, and resources
- New Cosmetic content – Spruce up your garage with new cosmetics found in the Zone and by trading scrap material at Ida’s Exchange
