Meridiem Games has announced a physical Special Edition of DRIVE Rally, heading to both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The release packages the arcade racer with a few collectable extras, offering a neat option for players who still like having something tangible on the shelf.
[Pre-orders are already live on Amazon UK](https://amzn.to/4t2mzVF), priced at £29.99 for each platform.
A modern take on ‘90s rally racing
DRIVE Rally leans heavily into the feel of classic rally games from the 1990s, but it’s not trying to be a strict simulation. Instead, it focuses on fast, responsive handling and accessible gameplay. The idea is simple: easy to pick up, but with enough depth to keep you improving stage after stage.
The game blends arcade-style driving with a strong sense of place. Each location has its own personality, from wide, sunlit tracks to tighter, more technical routes that demand precision.
A journey across varied landscapes
Players will race through a mix of environments designed to keep things fresh:
• Dry Crumbs offers bright, dusty terrain where speed is everything
• Holzberg shifts the focus to dense forests and narrower paths
• Revontuli brings icy conditions that test control and timing
Each setting changes how the car feels on the road, encouraging players to adapt rather than rely on a single driving style.
What’s included in the Special Edition
The physical Special Edition is fairly straightforward, but it hits the essentials for collectors:
• A copy of DRIVE Rally
• A set of themed stickers
• A printed artbook
It’s a modest bundle, but the artbook in particular should appeal to fans interested in the game’s visual style and design.
Release date and where to buy
DRIVE Rally Special Edition launches on June 18, 2026.
You can pre-order now via Amazon UK:
• [PS5](https://amzn.to/41nK93n) – £29.99
• [Nintendo Switch](https://amzn.to/41nBDRQ) – £29.99
Final thoughts
This release feels aimed at players who miss the pick-up-and-play nature of older racing games. It doesn’t chase realism for its own sake. Instead, it focuses on speed, control, and the simple satisfaction of getting through a stage cleanly.
If that balance sounds appealing, DRIVE Rally Special Edition looks like an easy one to keep an eye on.
