Saber Interactive’s next-gen heavy-machinery sim “RoadCraft” looks bigger, bolder, and better — and thanks to its co-op mode, it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting multiplayer simulation experiences of 2025.
Following the success of its Steam Next Fest demo, which gave players a taste of cooperative rebuilding, Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have now revealed a brand-new RoadCraft Co-Op Trailer (watch it here) ahead of the game’s official release on May 20, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
And after checking out everything the co-op trailer had to offer, our team can’t wait to dive into RoadCraft on day one.
Build, Repair, and Reclaim Together
At its core, RoadCraft is a heavy-machinery simulation game that puts players in charge of a disaster recovery company. Your job? Restore areas devastated by natural disasters — whether it’s clearing debris, rebuilding broken roads and bridges, fixing faulty equipment, or restarting local industry from the ground up.
What’s already a satisfying single-player experience becomes even more dynamic in co-op. In multiplayer mode, up to four players can join forces on the same host’s map, combining their skills, machinery, and creativity to tackle larger and more complex projects together.
Instead of handling multiple massive tasks alone, now you can divide and conquer. Whether it’s operating a crane to lift toppled containers or coordinating asphalt paving for a new highway, RoadCraft’s co-op mode turns every mission into a true team effort.
Co-Op Features That Redefine the Sim Genre
Saber Interactive clearly understands what makes multiplayer gaming satisfying, and RoadCraft’s co-op suite delivers:
- Cross-platform Multiplayer: Play seamlessly with friends whether they’re on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S.
- Drop-in/Drop-out Connection: Friends can jump into your session at any time without interrupting your workflow.
- Shared Progression Options: Sync your progress with the host or simply play as a guest if you want to help out without altering your own campaign.
- Built-in Voice Chat: Coordinate heavy lifting, repairs, and strategic planning directly in-game without needing a third-party app.
This thoughtful implementation ensures RoadCraft’s co-op isn’t just an afterthought — it’s a core part of the experience.
What Sets RoadCraft Apart
If you’ve played games like SnowRunner or MudRunner, also developed by Saber Interactive, you already know they have a deep understanding of physics-based simulation. But RoadCraft pushes things even further.
The game uses a brand-new engine designed specifically for next-gen platforms, offering:
- Ultra-realistic physics: Mass, size, and terrain resistance all factor into how your vehicles move and operate.
- Interactive materials: Sand, wood, cement, and asphalt react dynamically as you build, reshape, and reconstruct.
- Terrain manipulation: Build roads and smooth the ground to optimize the movement of your heavy machinery.
- Over 40 unlockable vehicles: Each machine is authentic, distinct, and vital for different types of operations.
This isn’t just a “driving game” — it’s an immersive disaster recovery simulation that challenges players to think, plan, and adapt.
Explore a Vast World of Rebuilding
RoadCraft offers players a global sandbox of possibilities, with eight massive 4 km² maps featuring diverse biomes and structures:
- Rugged mountain passes
- Arid deserts
- Flooded dams
- Out-of-service solar fields
- And much more
Each map is packed with secret areas, side missions, and hidden opportunities to scavenge materials like steel, cement, and wood. These materials can then be recycled into vital construction resources — a clever mechanic that adds another layer of depth to your recovery efforts.
As you complete missions and earn XP, you’ll unlock bigger projects, more advanced vehicles, and larger contracts to restore entire regions to working order.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions
RoadCraft is now available for pre-order at all major digital stores:

Why We’re Excited for RoadCraft’s Release
As huge fans of simulation games — especially those that reward patience, planning, and precision — RoadCraft is exactly the type of title our team gravitates toward.
The fact that Saber Interactive has included full cross-play, drop-in/drop-out co-op, dynamic resource management, and a wide range of realistic machinery shows they’re committed to offering a deep, long-lasting experience.
And honestly, after checking out the new co-op trailer, we’re even more hyped to tackle these reconstruction missions together on launch day.
Final Thoughts
RoadCraft looks like it’s primed to be the next big name in the construction simulation space. Whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with friends for massive multiplayer rebuilds, the game promises rich mechanics, rewarding co-op play, and stunning next-gen visuals.
Mark your calendars: RoadCraft launches May 20, 2025. If you love games that blend teamwork, strategy, and heavy machinery chaos, this is one project worth building toward.
