How do I play against friends online?
Create a lobby and invite them to play.  
I can’t find an online game?
During the beta, finding active games might not always be possible. Use our Discord to advertise your desire to play game sessions and make sure to play during hours or on server regions where other players are running game sessions.
I’m a streamer, is there an optimal place on screen for my camera?
Yes, you can position your camera on the bottom left section of the screen as it’s completely free of any on-screen graphics. We would recommend this as the optimal position, however, you are free to place your camera wherever you like.
What are the recommended specs?
We are currently running the game without issue on these specs; Effortlessly: Intel Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 16GB Ram Nvidia GTX 1080 Really Well: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz 8GB Ram Nvidia GTX 1050 Passable: Touchbar 2017 MacBook Pro with discreet graphics, 16gb Ram.
What are the minimum specs?
We are still optimising the gameplay experience and as yet, have not finalised the minimum specs for the game. This is also something we’d like your help with as we only have access to so many machines at Glitchers and friends of Glitchers. If you are interested in testing various specs feel free to get in touch in our Discord/Forum.
What is the file size of the install?
The file size of the game is 1.5GB, we expect this to change throughout early access as we add more content to the game. Join our Discord/Forum for the latest news and updates.
Can I change the volume of the music and or sound effects?
Right now you can toggle the announcer, music and sound effects on and off. It’s on our big list of to-dos to make them all have volume sliders.
Can I use the keyboard and mouse?
The game is intended to be played with a gamepad or equivalent. You can navigate the menus with the keyboard and mouse. It may be possible to play with a keyboard. If you are experiencing an issue please contact us through the support section of our Discord/Forum.

Why create Drive Buy?
Drive Buy is a new kind of vehicle combat game that builds on the history of the genre. With combat mechanics layered on top of a primary mechanic of serving customers in exchange for in-game credits, it offers a fresh take on the genre.
When does Drive Buy come out?
Drive Buy will be available as an early access title on Steam early February. We are expecting to release the full game later in the year.
Tell me more about Drive Buy?
Drive Buy is a fast-paced online vehicle combat game. The game is set in a Dystopian world. The people are being brainwashed by the BUY CORP hypnotic signal. You have to race against other players (could be friends) and sell the most products to the brainwashed masses. You can outrun your rivals, destroy them with power-ups and steal their credits, jostling for a #1 place on the leaderboard. Imagine the game is like Mario Kart Battle meets Black Mirror.
What modes are available?
There is currently 1 game mode: Sell with variations over how many players are meant to sell. More will be added over time.
How long is a game?
Game sessions last between 3 and 8 minutes
Who is the boss guy?
The boss guy controls the blimp and takes the profit from your activities.
Can you tell me about the story, if there is one?
The story is fairly open, but you all work for BUY CORP and your boss is riding around in a giant blimp above the city that’s dropping out product stock for you to sell. The blimp is also where the hypnotic signal is coming from that makes all the screens change to the pulsing circles. That’s all we’re willing to say at the moment.
What’s the main objective?
The main objective is to sell products to people. The people are hypnotised by giant screens, in that state, they will buy anything.
What is the setting of Drive Buy?
The setting of Drive Buy is in a dystopian future featuring urban city environments. Expect to see large glossy skyscrapers in the financial district to large disused warehouses down in the port. Almost all the buildings in Drive Buy are adorned with screens and littered with anti-hypnotic graffiti.
Is this a multiplayer game?
Yes, this is an online multiplayer game.
How many players are there?
There are up to 4-players in a game.
What do I control?
You control a vehicle that’s capable of serving and shooting. Driving is arcade-like with a focus on highly enjoyable slides and fast steering manoeuvres to dodge bullets and get around tight corners.
How long is a game?
A typical game with 4-players can last between 3-8 minutes.
How many emotes are there in the Beta?
There are currently 26 emotes available to unlock in the beta.
