So, as you may or may not recall, we covered news about a new sim game that was on its way. If not, don’t worry because we discussed this about two years ago. The game was previously called Urban Venture and was being published by Nacon. The game’s title has been changed to Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator. It is another entry into the growing variety of job sim games. There are also plans for Chef Life, Hotel Life, Garden Life, and Ambulance Life. What makes this sim a talking point now after being out of the spotlight for so long?
Taxi Life now has a new release date, and we can also pre-order the game. It’s situated in Barcelona, with a part of the city “reproduced at a 1:1 scale, featuring over 286 miles (460 km) of roads,” according to Pure Xbox. According to the game’s store listings, it will be available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
