Over the course of the Early Access phase, Parking World has seen many improvements and new features.

The Management Update in particular brought a major overhaul to the management aspect of the game including the addition of advertisement signs and more opportunities to participate in adjusting prices for vending machines for example.

The building aspect has also been significantly improved. Revised snapping rules allow for a much smoother building experience, and the addition of new wall types brings greater flexibility to your construction options.

Beyond these key updates, a lot of effort has gone into enhancing the various scenarios available in the game. Each one is now more refined and all offer an enjoyable gameplay experience. Additionally, the free play configurations were added to give more options to customise the free play experience.

We’re truly grateful that you’ve followed along throughout the Early Access journey and are excited to hear your thoughts on the latest update launching alongside the full release!
