- Did you think I was gone? - 8 June 2026
Hello Fellow Drivers,Just wanted to give you an update on what is happening with Summit Drive. You probably noticed I haven't been making any new updates for the game recently. I want to mention that while there are plans for a third map, the game will be on sale this week, and the upcoming summer sale. Currently we do have plans to rebrand to a new name as a studio, but that won't happen any time soon. I am also working hard on another title of mine.Summit Drive will be part of Birds of Play Steam Event in October and will be discounted for 47-48% off. I am not making any promises right now for anything new for Summit Drive this year, but it is likely that there will be an announcement for something soon. Thank you for the support and I hope you can continue to share the game with friends and reach the top. Love you guys!Best,Luke K.Developer of Summit Drive
