Features

Everything in TheFreeSurvive

Snowy peaks, an oceanside city, lakes, islands and a full-scale international airport, all in one open world. Here is every feature: what you can play today, what is being built, and what comes later.

Playable now8 features

In the build today

You can do all of this in the current development build.

  • Drive and slide

    Take a car out on the roads. Pull the handbrake on asphalt and slide: skid marks fade out behind you, with tyre smoke and squeal. Lean into hard turns and feel the nose dip when you brake.

  • Snow driving

    Head up into the mountains, where your tyres cut ruts into the snow as you drive.

  • Ski resort

    Ride the lift to the top, then ski the runs back down.

  • Downtown towers

    An oceanside downtown of tall towers. Walk in through the front doors and ride the lifts.

  • Lakeside Bar and ATM

    Pull up a seat next to a patron at the Lakeside Bar, then grab some cash from the ATM.

  • Full-scale international airport

    Walk the whole trip on foot: from the curb, through security, all the way to the seats at your gate.

  • Swim and dive

    Wade into the lake, swim out, dive below the surface and climb back out onto the shore.

  • Day and night

    Stay out past dusk. The day/night cycle switches the city over to glowing windows and street lights.
