We recently reported that Music Drive: Chase the Beat was heading to consoles and PC later this year. Since then, publisher QUByte Interactive, along with developer Salve Games, has confirmed the retro-styled action driving title will launch on the 3rd of July 2025. To coincide with the announcement, a new release date trailer has been produced. The game aims to showcase the culture of Brazilian favelas, which are typically poorer areas on the outskirts.
Developer Guilherme Candido, who grew up in the outskirts of São Paulo and spent four years building the game independently, said. “I grew up in Cohab 2, and one of my priorities was making a lightweight and accessible game. At the same time, we developed a dynamic chase system, one with no predictable patterns. Enemies surround you, work together, and make every match feel unique.”
Beyond the launch, the game will expand with updates featuring new tracks and up-and-coming artists, turning Music Drive into a platform for discovering fresh urban music through gameplay. Just imagine hearing a new track before anyone else, while tearing through the streets at full speed. “Seeing my music in a game that’s going worldwide is a dream come true. It’s about bringing the favela to new places,” says NP Vocal, whose lyrics carry the heart of the streets.
