Hello Drivers,


Summer might be ending, but things are only heating up for Taxi Life. We’re preparing to roll out our biggest patch yet — including support for consoles and steering wheels. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming in Patch #5.

Photo Mode

You asked, we delivered. Photo Mode is finally here. Capture the beauty of Barcelona, show off your taxi, and take cinematic shots of the city. Whether it’s sunsets, landmarks, or your customized car, the streets are now yours to frame.

Driving School Returns

Struggling with tricky maneuvers? Or maybe you just want to revisit the basics? With Patch #5, you’ll be able to return to driving school at any time to sharpen your parking, practice three-point turns, or simply enjoy knocking over a few cones.

Mouse Steering

A highly requested feature is making its way into the game. Mouse steering adds a new layer of accessibility and control, perfect for players who prefer a different way to handle their taxi. You’ll find it as a toggle option in the settings menu.

Immersive Driving – HUD and Center Dot Toggle

For players who want a fully immersive experience, Patch #5 introduces the option to disable both the HUD and the center dot. These options can be found in System Settings > Video > Presence of HUD.

Alternative Quick Look Features

Accessibility for quick looks has been improved. Players will now be able to choose between two modes:

Quick Look OFF
Right stick = free look
LB + right stick = quick look
Quick Look ON

Right stick = quick look
LB + right stick = free look

Choose whichever setup fits your driving style best.

Bug Fixes

Patch #5 also addresses several community-reported issues, including invisible curbs and pedestrians behaving incorrectly. Your feedback continues to help us improve the game, so keep it coming.

Thank You

We are proud to see Taxi Life sitting at a 72% positive rating on Steam. The game is currently 35% off, so it’s a great time to invite new players to join in. Patch #5 is now in the final stages of QA testing, debugging, and polishing. Our goal is to deliver the smoothest, most enjoyable experience possible across all platforms. Looking ahead, development continues with DLC and new vehicles already in the works. We will share more information after the launch of Patch #5.

Ens veiem a Barcelona,
