Indie game about cars, beer, and sausages hits all time peak thanks to new release

If the title didn’t already give it away, My Summer Car, a small indie by developer Amistech Games, has reached its all-time peak on Steam after spending over eight years in early access and a full year of release.

The full game was officially launched in Jan. 2025, and certainly attained some success over the years of early access. But it wasn’t until a year later that it breached 7,000 concurrent players on Steam, a new record for this one-of-a-kind game.

This is, presumably, thanks to the success of My Winter Car, the sequel. The games are also available in a bundle that makes the pair some of the most affordable gaming you can get your hands on in 2026 so far. This, naturally, has also helped boost the player base of both games.

My Winter Car peaked at over 24,000 concurrent players, and some of those, at least, have gone back to see where it all started.

But does the original hold up? Well, if you’re into goofy, surprisingly difficult games, then it’ll probably be worth playing for another 20 years, at least. It’s a real gem, the likes of which weren’t all too common back in 2016, when it launched into early access. Given the lengthy development cycle of almost nine years, there’s a ton of stuff to do in this game, from picking strawberries to emptying septic tanks and even winning rallies (the car kind).

I’m super happy that this little game is getting the love it’s always deserved. If you haven’t yet, definitely check out both games. I haven’t played My Winter Car just yet, but I’ll definitely be checking it out in the near future.

Surviving on Arcadia-7 is no easy feat, and to do so, you’re going to expand the size of your StarRupture inventory and storage as quickly as possible.

StarRupture treats inventory and storage spaces as separate entities. Inventory represents the number of items you can carry with you, while storage is where you store stuff in your base. Thankfully, you can increase the capacity of both items with the correct resources.

How to increase inventory size in StarRupture

The key to increasing inventory size in StarRupture is to raise your levels with the different available corporations. Every Corporation requires you to complete certain tasks to raise the level. When you level up, you’ll get unique rewards. Some of these level-up rewards allow you to get inventory upgrades.

At the launch of the early access, you can get four inventory upgrades from the Corporation level-up rewards. Some of them are obtained relatively early, but the rest will require more time. Once you complete the required tasks and raise your level, you’ll need to accept your reward from the Corporate Terminal.

• Selenian Corporation – Level 3
• Future Health Solutions – Level 7
• Graffits Blue Corporation – Level 8
• Moon Energy Corporation – Level 11

All unlocked upgrades will be applied automatically, so there’s no separate system for equipping them.

How to increase storage space in StarRupture

Storage space is your habitat inventory where you can store different items. These are items that you might not need immediately, but they will have some use in the future. To raise the storage space, you’ll want to improve your relationship with Clever Robotics Corporation.

At level 2, you’ll get a Personal Storage Container with 18 slots. The capacity will feel limited at first, but the higher levels will have several upgrades related to the storage space offered on the container. Once you level up, don’t forget to claim your rewards.
