When Taxi Life: A City Simulator was first revealed back in November, we immediately penned it as one of the potential unlikely hits of 2024, especially considering the original trailer racked up over 1 million views on YouTube alone.
At the time, it was dated for February 2024, but now it's been pushed back to March 7th, 2024. That's the official date for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and PC, and pre-orders officially begin today on the Xbox Store and beyond.
If you do decide to pre-order Taxi Life: A City Simulator for Xbox, you'll get access to a unique "vintage convertible model car" as seen in the trailer above, and there's also a special Supporters Edition with additional content if you're interested. The price starts at £34.99 / $39.99 for the standard version.
As for the game itself, it's being developed by the team behind Train Life: A Railway Simulator, and it's described as "halfway between a simulation and a management game", allowing you to manage your own taxi business while also taking on the role of a driver, transporting passengers across a 286-mile, 1:1 scale "large area" of Barcelona.
We'll throw more details below, and you can look out for Taxi Life: A City Simulator on Xbox in March.
