Is My Winter Car coming to consoles? Speculation, potential release, and more

My Winter Car has been a big hit in the festive season as Amistech Games’ latest venture has peaked over 20,000 players on Steam alone.

Successor to My Summer Car, My Winter Car is currently available in early access. While more content is expected down the line, there’s already a fair bit to do in the game. However, you can only enjoy the game if you’re on PC.

Will My Winter Car release on consoles

There’s always a chance for games to release on consoles when their early access phase is over. This pattern has been followed by indie games and AAA titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 in the past. However, it’s doubtful that My Winter Car will get a console release in the future.

This is primarily due to the size and scale of operations of Amistech Games. My Summer Car, the predecessor, got its full release in January of last year. It’s about to complete its first full year out of early access, and there is no news of a console launch. I am pretty sure that it will only remain available on PC via Steam.

Hence, it won’t be a stretch to assume that My Winter Car will also stay on PC only. We have seen other recent indie sensations like Megabonk, PEAK, and Schedule 1 being restricted to PC, and there is no news about their potential console launch.

Moreover, developing a console port also requires extra resources and capital. My Winter Car already appears to be a commercial success, given its player count and potential cost of development. It’s possible that Amistech Games could eventually develop a console port, but I won’t bet on it.

If you’re on PC, however, you can jump in right now and have fun building your project car while picking from over 200 module parts. New content is also expected to arrive over the next few months as the game continues to grow in early access.

The Classifieds Magazine in My Winter Car can be immensely useful if you’re looking to buy different parts.

The Corris Rivett is available as the first buildable project, and it has plenty of parts for you to build. Some of the parts can be pretty expensive, and that’s where the Classifieds Magazine comes in. You can use its advertorials to get used parts that cost half of their new counterparts.

How to get used parts in My Winter Car

The first task is to get a Classifieds Magazine to access the advertorial section. This section has a bunch of second-hand parts on offer for you to buy. You can also obtain new parts that might appear at random. You’ll find an applicable phone number associate with these parts.

The next task is to go home and call the number. Wait for the call to disconnect. If the item is available, your order has been placed. Wait for a couple of in-game days for the part you ordered to arrive. Once you have ordered a specific part, you can’t repeat the process with the magazine.

The parts you’re looking for might not be listed on the classifieds. If that happens, wait for the weekly refresh to get new offers. You’ll, however, need to buy a new Classifieds Magazine to go through the new adverts.

Additionally, you can also sell the parts that you bought from the Flea market. This is immensely useful if you accidentally end up getting a part that you might not want to fit into the Corris Rivett.

How to get a new Classifieds Magazine in My Winter Car

Buying a Classifieds Magazine is really simple. You’ll need to visit the PSK Fuel Station and spend 15 mk. Getting the magazine is necessary to view the adverts. Make sure to get a new one after the weekly reset to find out all the new stuff that might be on offer.
