The LEGO 2K Drive Update 5 is now available for download on all platforms. This version adds several new features to Visual Concepts’ arcade racer, including a new biome, game modes, and other upgrades to practically every aspect of LEGO 2K Drive.
LEGO 2K Drive, which premiered in May 2023, was the first title in a multi-game cooperation that 2K and the Danish toy maker had decided to explore over the next few years.
Similar to the 2001 classic LEGO Racers 2, 2K’s offering has a large open environment with multiple racing events and goodies. Although many critics commended its level of design and production values, the game received mixed reviews, with live-service features being a prevalent gripe.
The patch has nine Special Flairs in total, all of which can be added to vehicles to enhance their capabilities. Some of these include various camera angles and collectible detectors that alert you when you’re close to anything worth picking up.
Others add flamethrowers, speed enhancements, and better jetpack power-ups, expanding LEGO 2K Drive’s gameplay features and vehicle customization options.
