Summary

BeamNG.drive has a TrueGG Rating of 95.2%: the positive share among 23,960 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 97.2%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 98.1%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 3% of the total, with 78% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Beyond the first hours, approval is fairly even across playtime.

Negative reviews most often mention updates and the developers, performance, and crashes and bugs. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 94.8%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (96.7% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on live operations and online play (Updates & developers). These shift over time, so weigh recent reviews more than the all-time figure. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
