Physics-Based RV Co-Op Hits 100,000 Concurrent Players, Drives Into Steam’s Best-Sellers
Co-op’s next crowd-pleaser has arrived: RV There Yet? trades serene road trips for frantic, shout-at-your-friends chaos. It’s cramming lobbies, fueling clip-worthy disasters, and fast becoming a game-night staple.
File this under things I did not expect to be huge: a co-op game about middle-aged friends trying to limp an RV home without flipping it, starving, or accidentally setting the trip on fire. It is called 'RV There Yet?' and yes, it just blew up on Steam.
What you actually do
This is a four-player co-op survival-adventure built around one simple task: get the RV back on the road in one piece. One player drives the beast. Everyone else scrambles around making that possible.
Expect a lot of improvised engineering: laying down janky bridges, yanking the rig out of messes with a physics-y winch, and generally coaxing a several-ton rectangle over terrain that does not want a several-ton rectangle on it. When you are not MacGyvering the outdoors, you can literally hang inside the RV, smoke, and get a little wrecked. Priorities.
There is also a resource-management layer. The Steam page warns about Mabutts Valley like it is a final boss zone, and leans into the survival vibe with a very specific grocery list: burgers, antidotes, and EpiPens. Not everyone who enters makes it out. Bring snacks and medicine.
Why it is exploding right now
The game sprinted onto Steam's best-sellers chart almost immediately and, at the time I am writing this, has already crossed 100,000 concurrent players. That number keeps climbing every time I check, which is wild for something that did not even exist a few months ago.
The wild part: this came together fast
Developer Nuggets Entertainment says the whole thing started as a summer game jam and then snowballed into a full release in record time. They also skipped the usual Early Access path because they felt it was already ready to go:
'We debated doing an Early Access launch but ended up not to because we think the game is already really fun and could be considered done - short of a couple small things we are definitely adding in the coming weeks.'
What the dev says is coming next
- Custom keybindings
- Full controller support
- In-game localization
- Achievements
- Steam Deck Verified badge
Short version: a scrappy jam project about dads, an RV, and a winch just became a bona fide Steam hit. Sometimes the internet gets it exactly right.
