BeamNG.drive V0.38.6 Release Notes (18th May 2026)

No new cars, no physics tweaks, V0.38.6 is a security-only hotfix for BeamNG.drive, released today. The team has been clear that no player systems have been compromised, and they're not asking anyone to change passwords or take any extra steps beyond installing the update.

That framing matters. Security patches can send people into a panic, and BeamNG has handled this one cleanly by getting ahead of the messaging. They've also reminded players that if you know of an unreported security issue, you can flag it directly to security@beamng.gmbh. I appreciate studios that communicate this stuff plainly rather than quietly shipping a fix and hoping nobody notices.

It's a small update, but security maintenance on a game with a massive modding community is never trivial. Install it, move on. Here's everything that changed.
