Gameplay
 
BeamNG.drive features six modes: Scenarios, which are missions that vary in complexity, difficulty, and goals; Campaign Mode, which is a collection of small scenarios pertaining to a specific theme; Free Roam Mode, where the player can drive (or crash) several different vehicles in an environment of choice; Time Trials, where the player selects the vehicle, the map, the course, and aims for the best time; Bus Routes, which puts the player behind the wheel of a bus, shuttling passengers along a specific route; and Light Runner mode, which is essentially a time trial, but in a setting reminiscent of Tron.
 
The game implements its soft-body physics to both control vehicle dynamics as well as to control the collisions between objects and vehicles.
 
Physics
 
BeamNG.drive uses a real-time, soft-body dynamics physics structure to simulate its vehicles. Algorithms have been written for the physics equations to be carried out. Vehicles in the game consist of a soft-body, node-beam structure, similar to the vehicle structure in Rigs of Rods. 
 
The physics engine simulates a network of interconnected nodes and beams which combine to form an invisible skeleton of a vehicle with realistic weights and masses. In terms of soft-body physics, vehicles realistically flex and deform as stresses to the skeleton, such as impacts from collisions, are applied. The game's engine constantly calculates physics equations and problems in real-time during gameplay.
 
Reception
 
Jack Stewart of BBC mentioned that BeamNG.drive "has received interest from the film industry to model vehicle stunts, so that they can be prototyped and tested exhaustively – but cheaply – before a stunt driver smashes up a car on set." Polygon's Nick Robinson lauded the game's simulated physics and user-created content support, leading him to create an ongoing video series for Polygon, "Car Boys", in which he and Griffin McElroy spotlighted new BeamNG.drive content each week.
