Drivers!
In today's update, you’ll be able to explore the streets of Barcelona with the Delivery Driver DLC. This includes a new way to make money in Taxi Life along with normal jobs, company management and now package delivery. We talked a bit in our previous blog and did a deep dive on some of the main features of this update so, if you missed that check it out!
New Vehicle: The Victoris
The Delivery Driver DLC includes a new vehicle called the Victoris. It’s a powerful pickup ready to tackle package deliveries with ease. No worries, you’ll still be able to pick up regular passengers also.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42073432/1b6f5daf934307102fe89778d6859c24b1d7c50c.png
(funfact: the Victoris was named after our 3D Artist,”Victor” - Shoutouts to Victor!)
New Game Mode: Delivery Driver
In this new game mode, you'll be able to pull up to any one of the new warehouse icons on the map. From there, you’ll be faced with a UI showcasing the deliveries. You’ll be able to pick and choose which deliveries to take based on the size of your vehicle. So for example, the Victoris will be able to hold 8 packages as compared to smaller vehicles which will hold less. We talked a lot about this and even answered some questions about it during our last livestream, so feel free to check it out!

Now it’s time to get to the nitty gritty. We have a good amount of actual patch notes to get through. So lets go ahead and take a look at some of the bug fixes and changes we made:
AI & World Adjustments
- Pedestrian spawn rate slider added—so you can finally decide how many jaywalkers you want to deal with.
- Parallax vehicles now properly break and get dirty instead of remaining pristine after collisions
- Fixed an issue where passengers would appear below Parallax cars instead of inside them (we promise, no ghost passengers!)
- Various small spoiler adjustments on certain vehicles
- Stability & Bug Fixes
- Fixed a crash when resetting perks
- Addressed a bug where dialogues could stop working after canceling a Challenge
- Mouse steering no longer interferes with the lean keybind
- Fixed a bug where the game could freeze after multiple save reloads
- Fixed issues with engine behavior in simulation + clutch mode
Other Additions
- Added version number to the main menu widget
- Various AI pedestrian logic tweaks (yes, fewer suicidal pedestrians)
- Optimized backend FMOD updates for better audio performance
- Fixes to in-cabin interactive panels for multiple languages
- Fixes to clock display

Hello Drivers!
It's been a long time coming. The community has been asking and we've been listening. We're very happy to finally announce that PC players for Taxi Life will be able to use all steering wheel models*** with the game starting from today's patch. We wanted to go into a bit more detail on some of the in's and outs of the new binding menu, so lets get into it:
Setting Up Controls
First, we'd like to start off by mentioning that we would advise for players to have there steering wheels plugged into their computer, before launching the game so the game can detect your device. Keep this in mind with multiple devices as well.
After you connected your peripherals, and then launched your game you can access the binding menu from the pause menu.
Click on ESC > Game Settings > Controls > Click on the right arrow to navigate to steering wheel binding menu
Custom Setup Options
Once you’re in the Controls menu, you can select your preferred steering wheel. Here are the key steps:
- Choose your steering wheel/device from the list.
- Toggle the custom setup option to on
Note: Setting the custom setup to on ensures full functionality, while off mode provides a simplified setup.
Troubleshooting Device Detection
If your device isn’t recognized:
- Double-check all connections.
- Make sure all correct drivers are installed and updated
- Ensure that all devices are connected before launching the game.
- Reconnecting devices during gameplay may not always result in proper detection and might require restarting the game.
When correctly connected, your devices should appear in the game’s device list with their specific names (e.g., Thrustmaster T300). Here are some additional details:
- You can connect more than one device at a time.
- If your steering wheel does not work right out of the box, use the custom binding setup to bind all of the buttons.
- After plugging in your steering wheel and you do not get FFB (Forced Feedback), please try and restart the game.
Additional Tips
For the best experience, use the custom setup for all connected peripherals. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance please ping us on our official Discord channel
Minor Bug Fixes
We've also included in this patch some minor bug fixes that players should not be bothered by any more. If you encounter anything new, don't hesitate to let us know. We have 2 more patches to be released, but this does not mean we’re done! We’re going to be working on adding more content to the game within this year.
THANK YOU!
Shoutouts to the entire Simteract/Nacon teams for working hard on bringing this patch live as well as to the community for all of their constructive feedback since the games release. Without you guys, we couldn’t have made it this far. We have a lot more coming for Taxi Life, so stay tuned folks. We're not done by a long shot.
See you in Barcelona, drivers!
