Keep Driving

Keep Driving is out on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch, with the console version released and PC mod support live. The Switch and PS5 versions are not coming to Japan or South Korea after the game failed age rating review there.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 10

Keep Driving is a used-car, long-distance driving simulation RPG from Swedish studio YCJY Games. It came to PC in February 2025, and the console version has now been released. Mod support has also arrived for the PC version through Steam Workshop, with documentation for mod creation on the official website. The game is available on PC through Steam and GOG.com, on PS5 and Nintendo Switch overseas, and on Xbox Series X|S.

The console rollout does not cover all regions. YCJY Games said on its own social media that the Switch and PS5 versions will not release in Japan or South Korea because the game failed age rating review in both countries. The studio cited drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and slot machines as the problematic elements, and said a banner image showing cigarette smoke was rejected while holding a gun was fine.

The regional gaps differ by platform. The Switch version will not release in Japan or South Korea, and its release in other Asia-Pacific regions is delayed with timing undecided. The PS5 version has no release plans in Japan or South Korea at this time, with release planned in other regions. The Xbox version is planned for release without issues in all regions.

On Steam at the time of the ratings story, 93 percent of reviews were Positive, giving the game a Very Positive rating. The mod tools and the console release widen where the game can be played and how far players can change it.
