When the unveiling of Taxi Life: A City Simulator took place in November, we immediately marked it as one of the potential unexpected hits of 2024. This anticipation was fueled by the fact that the original trailer had garnered an impressive 1 million views on YouTube alone.
Initially slated for a February 2024 release, the game has encountered a slight delay and is now set to launch on March 7th, 2024. This official release date encompasses Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5, and PC platforms, with pre-orders officially commencing today on the Xbox Store and other platforms.
For those opting to pre-order Taxi Life: A City Simulator on Xbox, an exclusive “vintage convertible model car,” showcased in the trailer, awaits. Additionally, there’s a special Supporters Edition featuring extra content for those seeking an enhanced gaming experience. The standard version starts at a reasonable £34.99 / $39.99.
The development of this game is entrusted to the same team that brought us Train Life: A Railway Simulator. Taxi Life is being described as a unique blend, sitting halfway between a simulation and a management game. This innovative approach allows players to immerse themselves in the dual roles of managing their taxi business and assuming the responsibilities of a driver. The expansive gameplay unfolds across a 286-mile, 1:1 scale “large area” of Barcelona, promising an engaging and authentic experience in the world of urban transportation.
