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. Vehicles in the game consist of a soft-body node-beam structure similar to those in Rigs of Rods. The game's engine constantly calculates physics equations and problems in real-time during gameplay. It relies heavily on coding in Lua, and uses packets of local data using the Lua network system while the game is running. Algorithms have been written for the physics equations to be carried out. Physics Д«eamNG.drive uses a real-time soft-body physics structure to simulate its vehicles. The game implements soft-body physics to control both vehicle dynamics and collisions between objects and vehicles. Players can utilize various objects ranging from road barriers to weapons to inflict damage on their vehicles. In free roam, players can explore and experiment with levels, allowing them to operate, place and manipulate objects and vehicles within the level, but also change environmental properties such as gravity and wind. Campaigns are collections of small scenarios on specific themes (races, chases, stunts etc.), whereas in time trials, the player selects a vehicle, a level, a route, and competes against their own best time.

Gameplay Д«eamNG.drive features various gameplay modes and scenarios such as campaigns and a time trial mode. On 15 June 2018, BeamNG announced a partnership with Camshaft Software, Developers of Automation, revealing the addition of an exporter feature that allows players to export vehicles made within Automation as fully driveable vehicles in BeamNG.drive. On, the game was released to Steam Early Access. The game was placed on an open vote on Steam Greenlight on 12 February 2014 and was greenlit eight days later.

Д«eamNGs website,, was opened on to deliver news of their development of the simulator. Originally, BeamNG.drive was to be based on CryEngine 3, but its use in a driving game uncovered numerous bugs, leading development to be rolled over to Torque 3D. On, BeamNG released a YouTube video titled 'Revolutionary soft-body physics in CryEngine3'.

In 2011, some Rigs of Rods developers gathered to improve upon the open-source software with a new product.
