Pleasingly bizarre four-wheeled survival game Pacific Drive has officially sold 600K copies, and its developer Ironwood Studios has announced it’s celebrating that milestone with a series of content updates throughout the rest of this year. And the first of those updates is now live, offering a bunch of free additions, as well as a bit of daft cosmetic DLC.
Pacific Drive’s first free update lets players document their travels across the anomaly riddled forests of the Olympic Exclusion Zone using a new photo mode. It’s available right from the pause menu and gives player access to various camera settings – including depth of field, focus control, and exposure – as well as numerous aesethetic filters. It’s also possible to change weather conditions and time of day while you’re in there.
Photo mode arrives alongside the new Juke Jet car ability which, once mounted on your station wagon’s side rack, provides a horizontal boost that should be handy for dodging and drifting. There’re also two new upgrade nodes to be found in the garage’s Fabrication Station, unlocking the Smart Matter Deconstructor and Vargas Auto-Pac-Vac. The first lets players toss junk into the Matter Constructor from anywhere in the garage, while the latter deposits materials into the transfer trunk before being filling the rest of the vacuum storage.
