Old School Rally is properly awesome. Bringing back some fond memories for me of playing Colin McRae Rally on the original PlayStation and now it just got a whole lot better. It's Steam Deck Verified and runs great on Linux with the latest Proton 9.0-3.

The big addition in the latest update is split-screen support! So now you can challenge friends locally or via Steam Remote Play that's supported for it.

Also in this release is a new vehicle with the Pada B82, that's "Inspired by one of the best-selling cars in the history of automobile". Plus new stages: Arizona SS1, United Kindom SS1, and two new variants of fan-favourite tracks from Finland and Sweden.

On top of that there's new S-Class rally events added in to play through, a new foggy weather effect, five new music tracks, improved support for steering wheels, wipers will show up in cockpit view for rainy weather, new collectables to unlock and of course bug fixes.

Loving watching this one progress. It's in Early Access so there's more content to come.

Yay, splitscreen! 😃 I'm so thankful for indie Devs for putting in the time for accessibility options.

I, too, have fond memories of Colin McRae Rally (2?), on Windows XP I think.

The split screen looks to be for 2 players based on the post. Waiting for 4 player support since I have more than 1 sibling and more than 1 apartment mate and my friends often visit in groups larger than 1.

Although I wish more games had 4+ player support. Especially shared screen (as opposed to split screen) multiplayer games don't have a good excuse for the limit. IF I WANT TO BREAK THE GAME BALANCE YOU SHOULD LET ME BWAAAAAAAA!!
