About the Game
In Global Rescue, you take command of building and operating your own emergency services base. Coordinate missions, manage personnel and vehicles, customize your base — and take on the thrilling day-to-day operations of various first responder units: fire department, police, EMS, and even SWAT.
Thanks to realistic map data, you can freely choose your location anywhere in the world, from your own hometown to any city around the world!
Make sure your fleet and employees are always ready for action. Upgrade vehicles, train your staff, and expand your base using an extensive research tree.
From extinguishing fires and handling traffic accidents to questioning witnesses, treating medical emergencies, or coordinating high-risk SWAT operations, Global Rescue offers a wide range of authentic emergency scenarios. With the integrated mission editor, you can also create your own operations to face fresh challenges, all within a vibrant 3D world!
Using accurate Overture Map data, you have the freedom to establish your base anywhere in the world! Paris, Tokyo, Washington, Rio de Janeiro, or right in your hometown. Where will you begin your service?
Plan your base layout carefully: ensure enough space for wash bays, parking and everything needed to keep your emergency vehicles ready for deployment. At the same time keep office spaces, break rooms, and sanitation facilities in mind to keep your staff efficient.
Continuously expand and optimize your base to meet the growing demand and daily challenges. A wide variety of objects and furniture gives you the freedom to customize your base just the way you like it.
In Global Rescue, you'll have access to a wide selection of emergency vehicles across police, fire, EMS, and SWAT units. Build your fleet from 23 highly detailed vehicle types, including American, European, and Asian vehicles, either in standard liveries or with custom skins.
Ensure you have enough parking spaces, garages, wash bays, and fuel stations to keep your vehicles ready at all times. Only a well-maintained fleet can handle the challenges ahead!

• Performance improvements

• Modding bug fixes
Full changelog:
New features:
• New radio voices in English, Finnish, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Spanish and Turkish. The radio messages now sound more natural.

Performance and stability:

• If the radio volume is set to 0, the audio for radio messages is no longer generated at all, to improve performance, particularly on low-spec devices

• Fixed a crash when spending or receiving research points
• Fixed crashes when expanding the map and connecting the base to roads
• Fixed crashes that could occur particularly in the mornings and evenings when many AI vehicles were spawned or despawned

• Skins now work correctly on modded vehicles
• Fixed a bug where modded vehicles were also displayed in the skin preview for subsequent vehicles
• Fixed a bug where the vehicle category was not loading correctly for modded vehicles
• Fixed a bug where Steam Workshop tags were not being set automatically and correctly for modded vehicles
Other:
• Fixed another bug that caused emergency vehicles to get stuck at junctions (due to the complexity of the sheer number of different junctions worldwide, this is an ongoing process and we ask for your understanding if issues still arise at individual junctions)
• Fixed a bug that large vehicles looked through the ceiling in garage parking spaces
We will continue to be automatically notified of crashes and will keep an eye on them. Further stability improvements will follow in the future.

Today’s patch focuses on bug fixes and improvements based on your reports and feedback!
You can find the entire changelog below:
Balancing:
• We have further reduced the number of simultaneous missions in Relaxed Mode, and in normal game mode there are fewer large-scale missions occurring at the same time in the late game
• Improved checks to determine whether a road can be used to be connected to the base
Vehicles:
• When purchasing a vehicle, you can now set the default skin for that vehicle type, so it no longer needs to be changed for vehicles purchased in future
• Skins from the Steam Workshop now work correctly
• Fixed a bug where vehicles would get stuck at junctions or at the base entrance and would no longer move
• Fixed a bug where vehicles would get permanently stuck when assigned to another base
• Fixed a bug where vehicles sometimes could no longer be cleaned
• Fixed incorrect display of the number of vehicles at bases
Game world:
• Fixed a bug where, in rare cases, the loaded tiles contained only trees
• Wind turbines are now visually displayed
Performance / Stability:
• Fixed a bug where the game could freeze whilst loading or expanding maps
• Fixed a bug that could cause the game to freeze or crash during missions with many tasks
• Various performance optimisations designed specifically to fix micro-stuttering
• Performance optimisations lowering the GPU usage
Missions:
• Fixed a bug where, in rare cases, calls would stop coming in after a while
• Fixed a bug where missions in the forest, at the airport and at wind turbines were not triggered; as a result, several new missions have now been added
• Fixed a bug where prisoners were sometimes not taken to prison
Miscellaneous:
• Fixed a bug where the UI occasionally became unclickable
• Fixed a bug where, in rare cases, an old base could be deleted when building a new one
• Further minor bug fixes
We're still overwhelmed by all your feedback and how well the launch went! We're so grateful to have the best community! ❤️
We've now finished the first beta patch, which should resolve the most frequently reported issue.
- Traffic no longer gets stuck at intersections, causing long traffic jams.
- First small performance improvements (we will optimise this further in the future).
- The number of calls in relaxed mode has been lowered.
• The bug that prevented new missions from appearing should now be fixed. If this issue persists, please report it again. As a workaround, you can restart the game.
- When you buy a new vehicle you can now see the required parking space size
To try the new patch, go to the Beta branch in Steam. Right-click on 'Global Rescue' and select 'Properties', then select the 'Beta' branch. The game will then download the latest beta version. Please note that there may always be new bugs or game-breaking issues in the beta version.
We would also like to thank the modding community! The first mods are already available in the workshop. Check them out here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2873660/workshop/.
We're going to get some sleep now and will be back tomorrow. If everything works fine in the beta version, we will release it for everyone tomorrow. Then we will move on to the next fixes.
If you haven't done so already, we would still be extremely grateful if you could rate Global Rescue on Steam to support the future development of the Early Access! Thank you very much for your support, and we hope you continue to enjoy Global Rescue!
Global Rescue is now in Early Access on Steam! 🚨
