Hong Kong is coming to Mini Motorways in December, but what comes next? We’re stoked to share our 2026 roadmap, and it’s packed! 🎁🎁🎁
This graphic depicts an illustration of a highway road sign done to resemble a series of signs advertising exits. The signs show that the game Mini Motorways is going to receive updates that are new locations in February, June, September, and December as well as a couple of surprises hinted at. The signs are blue, superimposed over a pink and orange sunset

We’ll be showing off bright lights, vivid colours, and an all-new building type for Mini Motorways during Wednesday’s Simulation Day at this week’s Cozy Quest! Sea you tomorrow! 🌊
This screenshot of the video game Mini Motorways features blue, red, and beige iconography depicting a city map. A frame around the graphic advertises that it's part of an event called Cozy Quest which is running from 17th to 20th Nov

Whoa! As part of our celebrations for #CozyQuest2025, Mini Motorways is 25% off! Six years of free updates, new game modes, and more–go see why we’re today’s Daily Deal on Steam! 🗺️🚃🚗

(We didn't even edit this image to say Cozy Coast, that's a happy coincidence with a challenge name. It's a sign!)
This screenshot of the video game Mini Motorways shows the map for Reyjkavik, done up in a palette of blues and teals with pink and purple accents. A neat grid of houses and buildings fills the screen

Charming dog deckbuilder (dogbuilder?) Dogpile has a demo on Steam! If you heard the words "dogpile by foot" at Parallels, this is that game. If you want to merge dogs with other dogs, this is also that game. Give it a whirl!

Is Tingus Goose a strategy game, an idle game, a management game, or a clicker?

Yes.

Just watch the trailer.

A screenshot from the video game Tingus Goose, which features a bizarre cast of hand-drawn animals and characters in black and white against a colourful backdrop. A long goose-pole grows out of a tree, or is it a person? Why does it have fingers? Why are there centipedes? Bugs and geese and plants all cavort around the UI of this game, explaining nothing but looking very cool.

Now that the last of our team is back from our trip to Melbourne for MIGW, a time-honoured tradition: some of our favourite demos and reveals!

First up is pickpocketing simulator My Arms Are Longer Now. Just watch the trailer and bask in the art style:

store.steampowered.com/app/2646170/...
A screenshot from the video game My Arms Are Longer Now, featuring a noodly-armed pickpocket arm attempting to nick somebody's wallet on a subway car. The art is drawn in a cartoony style with lots of character and the arms are indeed very long.

Now that it's been out for a bit, we'd love to hear your thoughts on our new Creative Mode! 🎥🎬 Our design team wants to know how YOU would make Creative Mode better.

Our survey can be found here: forms.gle/7SFCB3ZMCyXw...

Thank you! Feedback from players is what helps make our games great! 🥰
This screenshot of the Los Angeles map from the game Mini Motorways has the words "Creative Mode" spelled out with road tiles in cursive. A few golden skyscrapers dot the yellow hills, the land bordered by an aquamarine sea

And another winner from our subreddit, /u/Ok_Inflation_2742 is way more ok than real life inflation, with this tangle of spoooooky streets and roundabouts 👻

Fairy bread, funfetti and fondant–if Mini Motorways was a person, we know it would be wanting the brightest, most sugary six-year-old birthday cake imaginable. Thanks to all of you for keeping it sweet with us since 2019! 🎉
This drawing depicts a car-shaped slice of funfetti birthday cake, vanilla cake filled with sprinkles and iced in red. A candle burns atop the car's roof shaped like the number 6.

We expected creativity from Creative Mode - it’s in the name! But Mini Motorways players continue to surprise and delight us, like this oddly zen Vancouver absolutely empty of cars and buildings. 🏒 Stick tap to /u/Many_Peas on the /r/MiniMotorways subreddit!
This minimalist map depicts the street layout of Vancouver, Canada, including Stanley Park and the North Shore, all the way east to Burnaby. No buildings surround the streets and no cars drive down the roads. This screenshot is from the video game Mini Motorways and it depicts the landforms and roads in a muted green colour palette.

There’s still time to enter our Best and Worst of Creative Mode screenshot contest! 🏅 Reply to the post below to enter. Are your cities better or worse now that you’ve had a couple weeks at the drafting table? 📐

/u/zwanneman over on /r/MiniMotorways made this hypnotic beauty!

Ever wanted to tell us how you really feel? (A game dev’s worst nightmare… 😰) If you’re loving Creative Mode, or if you’re a longtime player, we’d love it if you left a review on Steam or your app store of choice!
This graphic invites players of the video game Mini Motorways to leave a review. A few colourful cars drive around in a circle, following the outline of a speech bubble. The review reads: I love this game. It's fast paced, semi-logical, and can lead you to make really stupid decisions. It's versatile, interesting, and well worth the price. The text at the bottom says: Rate your ride! Mini Motorways

And lastly, the lovely colours of Copenhagen can now live in your pocket forever 🏠🏠🏠
This portrait-oriented graphic depicts a pale seafoam green background with church and building spires in the distance. Multicoloured houses line a salmon-coloured street, dotted in yellow and blue and red and teal. A seafoam-green car drives along the road. This stylized depiction of Copenhagen, Denmark is done in the style of Mini Motorways the video game.

We've also got two variants of our gorgeous Creative Mode art courtesy of the lovely @jessmwoodward.bsky.social!
This portrait-oriented graphic features a grey grid like an architect's plans. A stylized hand hovers above a small city composed of multicoloured houses, skyscrapers, and cars, with white roads looping around them in a pleasingly tidy design.
