Released 2026-10-10. 11 updates since release, the newest 2026-10-26.
Newest update: Riders Ride Shotgun (2026-10-26)
- Fares now ride in your windows with real guns: shotguns, ARs, AKs, grenade and rocket launchers
- Every rider has a face, a name and a catchphrase they say once when they climb in
- Green wrenches fix your hull, blue wrenches refill armor, and they fly to you
- Six drone types to buy and stack in the Garage DRONES tab
- New round stats for gunner, drone and wrench work
Earlier update: Teeth at the Paint (2026-10-26)
- Horde creatures now ring your cab and bite at the paint instead of piling under it.
- Damage from a crowd is capped so a parked cab stays survivable.
- The camera faces south-up again, matching the minimap.
- Fixed the screen flicker while sitting still in a fight.
- Cut a stutter that hit every couple of seconds in big hordes.
Earlier update: New Broadcast (2026-10-11)
- A new video now plays on the screens around the wasteland.
Earlier update: New Footage (2026-10-11)
- Two new video sequences have been added to the world.
- A new visual asset has been integrated into the game.
Earlier update: Updated Economy, Enemies, Game Loop, Bot Drivers, Power Ups, and more... (2026-10-10)
- Three new creatures stalk the Pit—armoured radscorpions, hulking brutes, and radioactive floaters—each with their own tactics and weak spots.
- Town boards now broadcast today's top drivers and all-time legends, painted live at every settlement.
- Bot cabs fill empty seats and drive the routes you skip, but real drivers hit back—send a friend the link.
- The live tally stretches wide beside the minimap so you see every kill, drift, and milestone as it lands.
- New garage behind every pad: buy engine, gun, and armour upgrades to climb the scrap economy.
What players say
@yzykyl · loved it · 2026-10-26 · played 14 min: “This felt pretty badass lol. Triple top speed is definitely my favorite powerup 😂Is this just purely endless and runs all the time? I feel like I joined and it was already around round 60. Excited to see more chaos as I upgrade my ride! 😃”
@jeon · loved it · 2026-10-26 · played 4 min: “Damn, drifting in circles feels so satisfying, like Tokyo Drift haha 😂 The enemy swarms get overwhelming though, especially with my car's low firepower. Weapon upgrades or health drops would make surviving those fights more fun!”
@lego · loved it · 2026-10-20 · played 6 min: “Smashing creatures with your vehicle while drifting is so satisfying! I got so distracted by that, I almost forgot there was an actual objective lol”
@neitantei · loved it · 2026-10-11 · played 8 min: “I got so carried away killing the horde that I completely forgot about my delivery lmao 😂 I love how the game makes every achievement feel rewarding, and there's always something fun to do even when you get distracted from your main objective!”
@flickaboo · loved it · 2026-10-11 · played 12 min: “The wasteland driving and combat have a lot going on! I cleared a huge wave of mole rats and deliver my passenger to Gutterhill while collecting scrap. The action gets pretty chaotic when the enemy swarms rush in. Nice work!”

Wastecab is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @tbertk in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.
Join and play, by yourself
This world is @tbertk/wastecab. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@tbertk/wastecab.
An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.
A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@tbertk/wastecab@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.
The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @tbertk/wastecab; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).
Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.
