Saber announces eccentric passenger rideshare game for PS5 in 2026
Developed over time first seen 4 months ago
Saber Interactive has announced Rideshare “Stimulator” for PlayStation 5, an open-world driving game in which players build a rideshare business while transporting highly eccentric passengers. Its central premise is that customers bring conspiracy theories, bizarre anecdotes and disruptive behaviour into each journey, adding a comedic narrative layer to the driving simulation.
Players will earn money by collecting passengers, following road rules and keeping vehicles maintained, with good service leading to favourable reviews and tips. Earnings can be used to buy improved vehicles and expand operations; the game is currently due for release on PS5 in 2026, with no exact date announced.

Explained simply
Saber Interactive is a video game publisher and developer known for titles including World War Z and MudRunner. Its new game is built around the idea of operating a passenger-driving service, similar to the app-based taxi services used in many cities.
Rideshare driving games typically combine ordinary road rules with business management: players take jobs, look after a vehicle and use earnings to improve their operation. This game adds fictional passengers who may behave unpredictably or tell unusual stories during journeys.
The PS5 is Sony’s current home games console. A 2026 release would put the game among a growing range of simulation titles, which aim to turn everyday work or activities into playable experiences.
