Steam

If you purchased the game on Steam, just sit back and relax: by default, Steam keeps all of your games up to date automatically.

Steam will auto update BeamNG.Drive as soon as a new update has been released!

If an update is already released but Steam isn’t showing it, restart Steam to force the update of its database. If the problem persists, uninstalling and then re-installing the game again is a sure-way to force Steam to download the latest available version.

Beta Branches

The game will not update to the most recent version if you are using one of the ‘Beta Branches’ available in Steam.

Verify by right-clicking the game in the Steam Library > Properties > Beta tab. Select None from the list to return to the most recent version.
